Discussion topics will include:

State of Politics: A discussion with political operatives about how politics has worked, is working (or not working) now, and what to expect as we near the 2020 presidential election.
The 2018 Midterms: Women are running for public office at an unprecedented rate; more than 13,000 candidates threw their hat in the ring. On the day of the California primary, which has 68 women running, how are these women faring nationally, what are the early indicators, and what should we all be watching as we head into the 2018 midterms? If a new sea of women take office, how will that impact the policy process and what policies are tackled?
Leading
Advocating for Your Best Professional Self: Leading women from the Women Rule community who have transitioned careers, started their own businesses and had success share their advice. What did they learn? What do they wish they knew when they started? What advice would they give to women moving forward?

Earning
Getting to Equal Pay: This panel will identify the forces at play in the workforce driving wages for women and what can be done to achieve equity.
