Women’s Leadership Program at SMTA International 2023
September 13, 2023 | Priyanka Dobriyal, Intel Corp.Estimated reading time: 1 minute
The Women’s Leadership Program is a popular, annually recurring event hosted during SMTA International. This year’s event is scheduled for Monday, Oct. 9, at the Minneapolis Convention Center and is free for all participants at SMTA International. The theme for this year’s program is “Personal Branding: Creating an Authentic and Sustainable Perception.”
The program will start with three presentations from women leaders in the electronics and medical industry. Each leader has charted a unique career journey that made her invaluable in the organizations she leads.
The presentations will be followed by speed mentoring sessions, delving into the 5 C's: clarity, content, connection, creativity, and community. These crucial aspects encompass all the important facets of personal branding, allowing attendees to effectively characterize and refine their own unique brand.
A Connection Reception social will conclude the Women’s Leadership Program. This annual gathering provides a relaxed atmosphere to continue the conversations from the earlier segments of the WLP, fostering new and renewed connections across the SMTA community of organizers, speakers, exhibitors and attendees.
Since our 2023 program theme focuses on personal branding, we asked our speakers to share their experiences, learnings, and personal branding journeys in their presentations.
Read their branding journeys in the September issue of SMT007 Magazine.
Priyanka Dobriyal is a member of the SMTA Board of Directors, helped organize the Women’s Leadership Program, and works for Intel Corporation.
