Conference attendees will be treated to a screening of the documentary film, ARISE FIREBIRD, on Thursday, October 16, 5:30–7:00pm. The film celebrates the resilience of women and BIPOC professionals in the workplace.

ARISE FIREBIRD is a powerful and unforgettable documentary that celebrates the resilience and empowerment of women and BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) professionals in the workplace. This inspiring film follows the incredible journeys of three women as they overcome inner obstacles and discover joy and strength in their professional lives.

Delving deep into the experiences of these individuals, ARISE FIREBIRD showcases the indomitable spirit of women and people of color, highlighting their triumphs and struggles in a world that has often marginalized them.
