BEHIND WORK
Launched by Future Front in collaboration with TEXAS McCombs in January 2018, WORK emerged from genuine conversations between women and LGBTQ+ leaders in creative industries, tech, nonprofit communities, small business and the arts.
Now, this one-day annual gathering serves as a moment to share stories, community-source inspiration and get real about the frameworks & skills required to do big work.
Thanks to our generous hosts at Texas McCombs, this year’s conference will be held at UT’s Rowling Hall on February 17, 2024 from 10 AM to 4 PM CT, with tickets starting at only $35.
HOW TO ATTEND
Passes will not be available for purchase at the door.
