The 9th annual women's leadership event hosted by Generation W has been rescheduled due to concern over the potential spread and exposure to coronavirus (COVID-19), according to a Wednesday release.
The event which was initially scheduled for April 3, has now been moved to Sept. 11. It will be held at the University of North Florida's Lazzara Performance Hall.
“The Generation W team has been closely monitoring the Coronavirus situation going from epidemic to pandemic over the past several weeks. The safety and welfare of the Generation W community and beyond is our top priority thus moving the date was made after careful deliberations and discussions with trusted medical experts, board members and partners”, said Donna Orender, Generation W Founder.
Generation W is a full-day conference that brings together "thought leaders, industry innovators, change-makers and storytellers for a day of inspiration, education and connection that engages and motivates attendees from all walks of life."
