2020 SPIRIT FORWARD SUMMIT:
VIRTUAL EDITION
The 5th Annual Spirit Forward Summit hosted by Bacardi Women in Leadership might have been virtual, but we still had the same caliber of interactive speakers, engaging sponsors and innovative breakout sessions to leave attendees feeling “Empowered to Be You” – our theme of the year - when they signed off at the end of the event.

TESTIMONIALS
“THE AMOUNT OF THOUGHT AND EFFORT THAT WENT INTO ORGANIZING THIS EVENT DID NOT GO UNNOTICED. I HOPE TO RECEIVE FUTURE INVITATIONS. TRULY SPECTACULAR."
“THE EXPERIENCE EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS. I APPRECIATED THE FACT THAT GIVEN THE CURRENT CLIMATE, POLITICS WAS NOT BROUGHT INTO THE DISCUSSIONS. I WILL BE BRINGING A GROUP WITH ME NEXT YEAR!”
“BY FAR, THE BEST LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE I HAVE ATTENDED. ALL THE SPEAKERS WERE ENGAGING AND KEPT THE ATTENTION OF THE AUDIENCE. I LEFT THERE FEELING EMPOWERED NOT ONLY AS A FEMALE BUT AS A LEADER WITHIN MY ORGANIZATION.”
“EVERY YEAR IT GETS BETTER AND BETTER - KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!”
