Because your career is worth it.
We'll be virtual AND in-person in Scottsdale, AZ for 2021.
Your career in focus.
This event isn't about consumer finance. It's about you, the challenges you face, and the dreams you have as a female professional in a male-dominated field.
We won't be talking about finance, but we'll be learning alongside colleagues in our industry who are in a position to support us, champion us, hire us, and be our cheerleaders along the way.
The age of remote work and digital transformation arrived a lot faster than we thought. The way we work has changed radically and financial services is definitely no exception. This shift will have profound implications for your career, too.
What you'll learn
- How to build your confidence
- How to advocate for yourself and others
- The new rules of career management
- Tips for setting professional boundaries
- How to build a network with genuine relationships
- Techniques for managing up and across for better outcomes
- And so much more...check out the agenda
- Who attends?Professional women working at all career levels within consumer finance.
If you're a female manager, supervisor, attorney, agency manager, strategy exec., sales exec., marketer, VP, COO, Chief Counsel, Chief Compliance Officer, CTO, CEO (or hold any other position within, around or near finance), this event is for you.
If you work for a lender, a creditor, a collection agency, a law firm, a services or tech firm, a consumer group, or a regulator for the consumer finance industry, this event is for you.
- Why we created this event...
Every woman's professional journey is unique...
But if you’ve had honest conversations with your colleagues, you know that we are more alike than different. We really do have common views and experiences when it comes to financial services work. What’s missing from our industry is an event organized around this point-of-view. So, we decided to create one.
I know that I want to meet with other women who share my experiences - women who have so much great expertise to share, who want to get to know one another better, advance their careers and, as they do, improve workplace culture for everyone. I’ll bet that you do, too.
And now, our 3rd annual event is already around the corner! I look forward to meeting you in December.
It's not about calling men out, but rather calling women up...
I am so excited about this conference. It feels like everything I’ve done before has led me to this point. This is not a conference about compliance or best practices, but about women; about the common professional challenges we face, about how to tell our own career story, about building our network, and about enhancing the culture at each of our companies.
I have often found myself to be the only woman in a room or one of just a few. As I think back on my career, I realize that nobody has ever really taken me under their wing. Although I've achieved success anyway, I can't help but wonder what might be different if I had a stronger hand guiding me along the way. This event is about making sure we all have that guiding hand. I hope you’ll join us.

“WCCF allowed us to pick up four more coaches for our highly successful internal mentoring program. They heard stories about mentoring and were moved to take action to help someone else. This was a tangible return on our investment to send a large team to the conference."
Nancy Hughes, Partner

"I posted on social media that in 30 years this was the first conference I was sad to leave. Spending 3 days with such brave, vulnerable & kick-ass women is very inspiring!"
