ICYMI: Best of Ellevate Network 2017

ICYMI: Best of Ellevate Network 2017

It’s that time of year when you start to think about what you have accomplished and what your hopes and goals are for the next year. At Ellevate, we’ve been in full-on planning mode for a while, but it never hurts to stop, take a breath, and think of how far we’ve come.

This year, we launched several innovative initiatives to help you network intentionally:

  • We launched Conversations for Ellevate members to connect online, message each other and find the right people who can help them get ahead.
  • Our Squads program -- a way for members to connect in smaller groups, dive deep into their career roadblocks and help each other succeed -- connected 1,728 women in 211 Squads.
  • Our first Mobilizing the Power of Women Summit an annual event aimed at creating action towards gender equality

2017 was a crazy year for the whole world, and it was a busy year for us at Ellevate Network. In case you missed it, we've rounded up some of the best content from Ellevate for you to revisit.


Ellevate Events Around the World


If there’s one thing we know how to do, it is bringing together groups of powerful, smart, supportive women who want to succeed and help others succeed. In 2017, 20,370 people attended our 601 chapters events around the world, sponsored by 330 companies and featured 476 speakers. Between breakfasts and happy hours, that’s a lot of wine and coffee!

We know better than to play favorites with our events, but here are a few we think you should revisit:

Our Ellevate Dubai Chapter hosted its annual forum, this year focusing on creating lasting change by inspiring women to take action and ‘Own It’. Ellevate Los Angeles hosted a star-studded panel of women in Hollywood featuring Rose McGowan (activist, actor, filmmaker), Kamala Lopez (award-winning documentarian), Janet Yang (Emmy-winning producer), and Madeline Di Nonno (CEO, The Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media).

Looking for negotiation tips? Our Charlotte and Boston chapters both hosted negotiation workshops with the American Association of University Women.

We celebrated Women’s History Month with 18 of our chapters around the world hosting documentary screenings of She Started It, a film focused on shining the light on women entrepreneurs -- it’s like the show Silicon Valley, but with women! 😉

We talked geopolitics with Ian Bremmer and Sallie Krawcheck; disruption and diversity on Wall Street, and how to engage men in the fight for gender equality. Did you hear Feminism is the word of the year? We had a feeling that could happen and hosted a Take Back Feminism panel early in the year. 


And of course we’d be crazy not to mention our first big annual Mobilizing the Power of Women Summit. Hosted this summer in NYC, the Summit featured 30 world-class speakers like Zainab Salbi, Craig Newmark, Kelly Cutrone, Jessica Bennett, and Wade Davis. 250 women attended in person and 18,000 online.

2017 Was a Year of Growth and Commitment. Women Supporting Women.

We welcomed 6,600 new members to Ellevate Network; 3,700 women received a membership from employer, mentor or friend; and 33 companies made the decision of investing in their female employees by working with Ellevate.

We’ve launched innovative products like Squads, our online program to connect small, hand-picked groups of driven professional women who support each other in reaching their goals. 1728 women in 211 Squads chose to invest their time to help each other succeed (and it was a significant amount of time -- 75,960 minutes of Squad meetings to be exact.)

We know that the power of Ellevate Network comes from the women in the community -- all of our achievements are your achievements, so thank you for making 2017 a year of innovation, connections, and overall awesomeness. Here’s to making 2018 even better!
