Three years ago the Women’s Jewelry Association went out on a limb and created “Women in the Know,” a business conference focused on leadership, business development, industry advancement, and networking. Now the event is going where it has never gone before: The West Coast.

Women in the Know will be held Sept. 8 at the Anaheim Marriott. Margeaux R. Cvar, Harvard Business School graduate and innovative business leader, will serve as the conference keynote and present a dynamic lesson in strategic analysis. Also on the day’s roster: Marie, Bodman, president of Breitling USA, Pamela Mitchell, career reinvention expert, breakout sessions, a WJA Women of Excellence panel, and a cocktail and networking reception.

The all-day event will precede the West Coast Jewelry Show, sponsored by the California Jeweler’s Association, Sept. 9-10, at the Anaheim Convention Center.

Cost to attend Women in the Know is $150 for members, $175 for non-members, and $75 for students before Aug. 31.
