The California Women's Conference, which is an internationally acclaimed forum for the world's most influential voices, hearts and minds, returns to the Long Beach Convention Center for its 28th conference on September 23-24th, 2012. The exhibit hall is where women can shop the "streets" of more than 250 vendors. At the pinnacle of our Community Town Center, an oak tree will be specially constructed to offer attendees a place to define their goals and dreams through a mobile app system. U.S. women constitute the number three market in the world, with their collective buying power exceeding the economy of Japan, so this year's theme is "The Women's Economy Starts Here."

For nearly thirty years, women in California have enjoyed a conference that provided a forum for building successful businesses, strengthening careers, and positively influencing the world around them. The California Women's Conference will continue the tradition of empowering women and providing resources in every aspect of their lives, and embracing philanthropy by donating a portion of proceeds to participating charitable organizations.

A partial list of celebrated speakers including:

Gloria Allred, Marcia Cross, Mark Victor Hansen, Donna Karan, Mary McDonough, Michael Learned, Judy Norton, Kami Cotler, Julie Newmar, Tippi Hedren, Donzaleigh Abernathy, Rose Marie and more.
