Her Campus is not only a website, but also a community for women. You can find articles that contain information on anything from health and wellness, beauty, fitness, academics, politics, volunteering, you name it.
The Her Conference had a handful of accomplished women speakers, entrepreneurs, and even an Olympic athlete Michelle Carter.
The Agenda for the day included: we had to get there by 7:30am to get in line!)

During the opening welcome, they had everyone raise their hands who had traveled out of state to be there that day. About 80% of the room raised their hands. This really surprised me as a majority of NYC events that I attend are attended by people who live within an hour or bordering states. It was also an aha! moment when I saw one of the Her Campus founders Windsor Western come up and speak as I had just seen her with her husband and daughter at the Rose Mansion the night before.
The entire day was very empowering, uplifting and filled with activities from various vendors. My favorite station was Mary Kay. They had make-up artists completing makeovers. You also were able to get a personalized eyeshadow pallet. These pallets are customizable on their website. Other sponsors included Crayola making “Goal Digger” organizers, XOXO with custom shirts, Go Daddy selfies, A blow out hair bar from Bumble, and Extra Gum with a truck filled with foam cubes.
I highly recommend joining the community!
