The 2009 WITI Summit Returns to the Silicon Valley in June!
WITI's 20th Anniversary Summit:
World Café and Technology Café:
Innovation, Collaboration, Reinvention
Hyatt Regency Santa Clara, CA
June 14-16, 2009
www.witi.com/summit
The World Café is the ideal structure to achieve concrete deliverables as we develop and expand our ability to innovate, collaborate and reinvent. It will provide us an ideal framework for making magic happen - one which we believe could not be more appropriate for WITI's 20th anniversary celebration - after all, the idea of creating transformation and innovation by bringing together women from different parts of the world, with different perspectives, experiences, backgrounds, speaks to the heart and soul of why WITI was founded and why WITI continues to lead the global market for women. Register Today for Discounted Early Bird Rates!
This Summit will incorporate the principles of the World Café into our Social Media Technology Café where we will learn how to leverage social media tools like blogging, twitter, facebook, etc.

Celebrate International Women's Day 2009 with A POWERFUL NOISE Live
March 5, 2009 • Across the US
Plan to join our partner organization, CARE, and more than 120,000 people gathering in 450 theaters across the United States to celebrate International Women's Day 2009. On the evening of March 5, CARE is hosting an unprecedented one-night event featuring "A Powerful Noise", an acclaimed documentary that follows three extraordinary women - Hanh is an HIV-positive widow in Vietnam, Nada starts a women's cooperative after the Bosnian war, and Jacqueline educates girls in Mali. The film takes you inside the lives of these women to witness their daily challenges and significant victories over poverty and oppression. Immediately following the film a town hall discussion will be broadcast live from New York to participating theatres, with renowned activists and experts including Nicholas Kristof, Christy Turlington Burns, and CARE President & CEO Helene Gayle, to discuss how we can empower women around the world to fight global poverty.
WITI members can attend the event with friends and colleagues, and WITI local networks can make A POWERFUL NOISE Live their own International Women's Day program for 2009. Simply participate in the event together and then discuss the issues raised in the film at your next meeting.
