Is the Women of Project Management Conference Worth It?

Is the Women of Project Management Conference Really Worth It? Short Answer: 100% Yes.

After three back-to-back bangers, you're still debating whether this conference is worth your PTO and flight points? Let me help you out; yes ma’am, it absolutely is. This isn’t just another corporate name-tag meet-up.

It’s the conference for Black women in project management, built by us, for us, and still going strong after ten whole years of shaking tables and building bridges. Let’s get into why your future self will be high-fiving you for showing up.

The Panel, The Pause, and the Power in Her Eyes

Dr. Ayanna Abrams

There’s a photo from last year’s conference. Three women on stage, mid-discussion. One of them, a licensed clinical therapist, is facing the camera directly. But her expression isn’t posed or polished; it’s heavy.

Not with sadness, but with the weight of what she’s hearing in real time: stories of burnout masked as ambition, of brilliant women shrinking in boardrooms, of salaries that don’t reflect skill sets or sacrifice.

She’s holding it all. Listening as project managers share the toll that imposter syndrome, pay inequity, and constant code-switching takes on their spirit. And when it’s her turn to speak, she doesn’t reach for platitudes.

She gives us language, tools, and most importantly, permission. Permission to rest. To reset. To believe that boundaries are professional, and balance is possible.

That moment? That photo? It’s more than just a panel shot. It’s what this conference does; makes space for honesty and gives it the dignity of real solutions.

What You’re Really Signing Up For

Let’s skip the vague brochure language. Here’s what you’re getting:

  • Transformation, not just talk: These keynote speakers don’t play. They speak to your experience, challenge your thinking, and offer the kind of takeaways that don’t expire after the event.

  • Workshops that respect your brainpower: Practical, applicable sessions designed with your leadership journey in mind.

  • A community that claps when you win: Real connections with women who get what it's like to navigate this career path and still keep your edges and your ambition intact.

  • A membership that keeps on giving: Your ticket includes a year of access to continued support and resources, so the glow-up doesn’t stop at the exit doors.

The Keynote Queen Herself: Stella Ihenacho

Stella isn’t just a speaker; she’s a whole moment. Every year, she pulls up and pours into us like she’s been keeping a journal of our collective experiences. She doesn’t just talk project management; she speaks purpose.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, unseen, or unsure about your next career move, ten minutes of Stella will feel like the mentor session you didn’t know you needed. And yes, she will be in the building again this year.

Ten Years of Excellence, And We’re Just Getting Started

This is a movement. A decade of creating space, building visibility, and redefining leadership on our terms. If you’ve been on the fence, consider this your sign to jump off and land in the room where legacy is being built in real-time.
