PAST ATTENDEE FEEDBACK

The speakers and content as well as the pacing of the day were all superb. I have gone to several of these events, and the PJT Forum exceeded those and it was all done in 8 hours in NYC to boot!

Excellent mix of speakers with different experiences & backgrounds… thought-provoking ideas.

Content this year was phenomenal. I was overwhelmed by the quality of the discussions and the variety of topics.

Beautiful venue, delicious food, and warm environment.  What strikes me as the special sauce is the amazing group of incredibly talented yet friendly and nice professional women.

Forum was wonderful. Amazing line up of speakers, quality of content, and opportunities to network.
