SEEN Magazine & Michigan Women Forward are hosting an event to empower and connect inspiring Metro Detroit women, who are making an impact and helping other women thrive along the way.
Women represent more than half of the U.S. population, yet men control the
majority of wages, business, money, and government.
It is an exciting time for women. We are banding together to speak our truth, march, launch businesses and non-profits, raise money, run for office, change policies and so much more.
We believe representation matters, so we are committed to telling the stories of the incredible and diverse women in Metro Detroit making an impact and changing the world. Through our magazine, videos, a new podcast and our inaugural Women’s event, we will highlight what women are doing to have their voices heard, connect with each other and be SEEN.
9 – 10 A.M.
FUEL UP & NETWORK
Grab coffee, tea or juice and gourmet breakfast from Annabels Catering to meet and greet our powerful panel and guests.
SHOP FOR A CAUSE

10 – 10:30 A.M.
