Since launching in 2012, MAKERS has worked to accelerate the women’s movement by sharing stories of real-life experiences that ignite passion and action.
In 2021, we’re not holding a MAKERS Conference in person—we’re doubling down. Instead of one event we’re hosting three virtual experiences that will feature a mix of the MAKERS magic: inspiring speakers, engaging video and audio profiles, essential conversations, and more, built for the MAKERS@ Community with content then shared far and wide. The intention is to take our community on a journey over the year, creating a sense of belonging and camaraderie as we advocate for equality together.
On February 9, we welcomed the 2021 MAKERS@ Community Members to the MAKERS 2021 Kickoff event. Programming included 90-minutes of extraordinary moments including Abby Wambach interviewing Sarah Thomas, the first woman to officiate in a Super Bowl; Luvvie Ajayi Jones interviewing Bozoma Saint John, Gloria Steinem, and more. Coming May 4-6, the 2021 MAKERS Conference will return as an interactive event that will continue to break through barriers, push boundaries, and spark lasting change. Lastly, we will hold our year-end event in November 2021.
