OUR MISSION
To bridge the gap between female leaders of the 21st century and the millennials who admire them by shaking up the women's leadership arena and producing game-changing opportunities for college-aged women.
OWN IT 2024
The OWN IT conference is designed to equip women and non-binary folks with the knowledge and tools to find success in their respective fields. Our conference embodies DWIB’s core values of friendship, diversity, and empowerment by having female leaders encourage the women in our community to pursue their dreams. Speakers will discuss their diverse backgrounds and career choices to provide attendees with a greater understanding of what growth can look like! This year’s keynote speaker is a former Olympian turned entrepreneur, Idara Otu!

what people have said about own it
“Attending own it my freshman year really opened my eyes to the range of careers possible, including the number of careers one person can have in their life time. This showed me that having multiple interests and not being able to choose just one thing is not so bad after all. I have attended every year since (and now moderated panels) with the goal of exploring what i’m passionate about and connecting with other female professionals who can encourage me along the way.”
- Melissa Vinding, OWN IT Attendee turned Moderator
“Attending the OWN IT conference for the past 2 years has been nothing but amazing! OWN IT has provided me with the unique opportunity to hear from accomplished women in diverse fields as well as connect with other DWIBers who are interesting in pursing a similar path to me.”
- Maya Martinez, OWN IT Attendee
