The Texas Conference for Women is a nonprofit, nonpartisan leadership conference for women of all ages and backgrounds. The first annual conference was held in 2000 in Austin, Texas as a one-day event consisting of keynote addresses and breakout sessions led by experts in the fields of business, philanthropy, health, finance, media and professional development. Programming is directed toward working women and touches on both professional and personal development. Attendees learn new communication skills, leadership strategies and work/life balance tools designed to enhance their professional and personal growth.
The breakout session format is "Power Talks", which according to the official site, is a 'fresh new high-impact format designed for how we live, learn and work today'. Unlike most conferences, which last 30–45 minutes,[1] these talks are short by design (around 15-25 mins, with an audience Q&A).[2]
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021, the Conference moved to a virtual format. From 2022 on, the Conference has offered both an in-person event in Austin and an online event.
In 2025, the Conference moved to an all-new arena format at the Moody Center.[3] The next conference will be held at the Moody Center on October 5, 2026.[4]
