My Future Branches Story by Kari Solomonson:

I heard about the event through LinkedIn…

I only heard about the event through Elizabeth (the producer) when she reached out to me with an opportunity to moderate a roundtable. And since I’m so involved in mentorship at my own organization, I was happy to moderate a roundtable on the same subject. I had such fun doing it, too! Once we got the conversation going, people had a lot of interesting tidbits to share.

I would definitely recommend going with a colleague.

Our organization is small enough, and this was my first time attending, so I decided to go alone. But I think I’m going to bring along someone from the senior leadership team. Preferably, someone on the technology side. There were some interesting solutions presented in the exhibit hall that I think we should keep in mind for the future. I’ve already sounded of my senior managers on the idea!

The highlight of the event for me was…

The most relatable presentation for me was the one done by Dena Roten (Citibank). It was interesting (and inspiring!) to hear the story of the career progression of another woman in the industry.
