How do I enter the virtual Conference environment?
Click here to log in using your registered email address and preset password CFW2024.
- If you attended the in-person 2023 MA, PA, or TX Conference for Women, or the 2024 CA Conference for Women, your registered email address is the same address you used for that event. (If someone else registered you and you never received attendee emails from us, ask the person who registered you to verify your email address.)
- If you purchased a stand-alone ticket to the National Conference, check your email for a confirmation from us.
NOTE: Do not share your login information with anyone. If two people log in using your email at the same time, both will be expelled from the virtual environment.
-
What is an attendee profile and why should I complete mine?
Your attendee profile is your digital persona, and will help you interact with other attendees during the event.
Share as much or as little information on your profile as you’d like, but note that certain questions are linked to networking capabilities, including peer profile search. So the more you share, the better your chances of connection. Keep in mind that this information will be visible to other attendees (minus your email address), and any exhibitors you choose to share with (including your email).
How to Participate
-
Do I have to request or activate my ticket?

-
What do I need to participate in the virtual Conference?
You’ll need a device with reliable Internet — we recommend a computer for the best experience, not a mobile phone.
