I am excited to announcethat headlining day two of this yearsWomen, Influence & Power in Lawconference will be tennis champion and New York Times best-selling author Venus Williams!

With seven Grand Slam titles, including five Wimbledon championships, and four Olympic gold medals,Venus is one of the most accomplished and inspiring women in the history of sports.

Beyond her accomplishments on the court, Venushas also been a steadfast advocate for equality throughout her career.

In 2006, UNESCO, the United Nations cultural organization, titled her as the first Promoter of Gender Equality. In 2007, it was her unwavering fight which led Wimbledon to award women players the same pay as their male counterparts.

Mostrecently, she launched an awareness initiative called the #PrivilegeTax to bring attention to wage inequality and unveiled a platform of resources for young women to get inspired and address the issue on a grassroots level.

Register today to be part of this intimate conversation with Venus as she shares her journey of resilience, determination and the importance of celebrating individuality. Whether its overcoming self-doubt or providing tools to navigate a male-dominated industry, Venus unique insights will sure to inspire our WIPL community to not only discover that inner champion but unleash its full potential!
