10:10 a.m. Talk to People Who Aren't Like You - You can learn a lot from people who are - gasp! - different. Our panelists know that, and will explain why this is a competitive advantage. Elizabeth Plank (Moderator) - Adaora Udoji, Tereza Nemessanyi, Bridget Todd
10:40 a.m. Starting From the Bottom - How do you build a winning team - and by extension, a winning company - from scratch? The Muse's Kathryn Minshew talks with Bustle's Kate Ward on what it takes to build a so-called overnight success.

12:00 p.m. LUNCH
1:00 p.m. Money, Money, Money (Getting It/Keeping It) - Do you have money? Do you know what to do with it? Do you have a plan for saving it, growing it, and keeping it? Are these questions making you sweat a little bit? Fear not! Actually talking about money is an essential part of having it. Amanda Clayman and Jane Barratt
1:30 p.m. Women in Power: How to be the Boss - Here’s a good habit: Feeling comfortable with your power. And then using it to get things done. Jessica Bennett (Moderator) - Amanda Steinberg, Christina Wallace, Jen Bekman, Jocelyn Leavitt
2:00 p.m.Guerilla Marketing on a Budget (plus Myths, Norms and Best Practices) - You've made something great - now you've got to get people to know about it. Next you've got to get people to care about it. Elisa Kreisinger (Moderator) - Naama Bloom, Vivian Rosenthal 2:30p – BREAK
2:45 p.m.How To Write Good - Writing- it's not just for writers anymore. In the age of email, Twitter and Facebook writing is the new handshake and emailsign-offs are the new office culture. Everyone is now a journalist and editor and the publication is your public self. Here, learn how to do it right (or at least better). Lea Goldman (moderator) - Jo Piazza, Alex Finkel
3:15 p.m.The 24/7 Game Face - In this world of blended personal and professional relationships, insta-broadcast and perma-self-branding, you are always on. This session will help you maximize your presentation skills across all of it by Compelling People author and communications coach John Neffinger.
3:35 p.m.Show Some Underbelly: The Professional Power of Personal Vulnerability Everyone glorifies risk-taking in business, but sometimes the biggest risk seems to be admitting you actually have feelings. Sally Kohn explores why it's way riskier not to.
4:15 p.m. Own Your Narrative: How to Tell Your Story (Your Way) - Maybe the most powerful power habit out there - defining who you are, where you came from, and where you're going. Ashley C. Ford (Moderator) - Rebecca Soffer, Lacey Schwartz, Rebecca Odes
4:45 p.m. Negotiation- How to Get What You Want (and What You Need) - Negotiation is an art, but also a science.
5:15 p.m. And After All That…Finding the Off Switch - Oh, it sounds so easy. Turn off! Chill out! Stand down! But where is that switch, and how do we flip it in our 24/7 game face world? And - what happens when we don't? This panel discusses the very real problem of burnout (and why unplugging is an act of sanity-preserving self-care). Paula Froelich (Moderator) - Glynnis MacNicol, Bea Arthur
5:45 p.m. Close - Making Power A Habit
6:00 p.m. COCKTAIL HOUR - Sponsored by Bustle
