Women in Retail Leadership Circle Announces Partnership with Innovation Women: an Online Platform Connecting Entrepreneurial, Technical and Innovative Women with Visibility Opportunities


PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Women in Retail Leadership Circle (WIRLC), a members-only association offering enterprise-level women in the retail industry a place to learn, connect and grow both personally and professionally, today announced its partnership with Innovation Women, a self-service online speaker's bureau designed to connect women with a wide variety of visibility opportunities.

Innovation Women was founded in 2015 to provide gender balance onstage at conferences and events. The bureau handles opportunities for both paid speaking roles as well as unpaid speaking roles ? i.e., speakers who are motivated by visibility for themselves and their organizations. Unlike a traditional speaker bureau, invitations go directly to members. Speakers keep any fees accrued. Innovation Women offers a variety of opportunities, including featured speakers, panelists, fireside chats, startup pitch judges, day mentors, and expert media sources, etc.

WIRLC will offer its members the opportunity to join Innovation Women at a discounted rate to foster the importance of diversity and inclusion at conferences. By partnering with Innovation Women, WIRLC affirms its commitment to provide members the opportunity to grow their careers and build industry thought leadership by increasing their public visibility.

"We're thrilled to be partnering with Innovation Women to give WIRLC members more speaking opportunities, helping them to further advance their leadership development skills," says Jennifer DiPasquale, president and co-founder, Women in Retail Leadership Circle. "Innovation Women gives female executives access to various speaking opportunities, furthering our mission of propelling women to the forefront where they belong."

Currently, Innovation Women has over 4,000 members and has placed speakers internationally at conferences, corporate events, universities and more.   

"More than 60 percent of retail workers are female, but look onstage at leading industry conferences and you see far fewer women," Innovation Women Founder Bobbie Carlton notes. "By working with the WIRLC team, we can make it easy for retail event managers to easily find great speakers. Meanwhile, the women speakers get the visibility they need to advance their careers and drive success in their businesses."
