SPEAKERS AND FEATURED GUESTS
"How We Got Here" - Alaina Shearer, Executive Director of Women in Digital

Alaina Shearer, our fearless leader, and a total digital nerd, founded Women in Digital in June of 2016 over a mimosa toast with a group of 100 women in Columbus, Ohio. That morning Alaina shared her journey as a woman in digital. From her experience in the radio industry to her move to advertising and digital marketing, she faced sexism and jaw-dropping discrimination all along the way. The energy that morning was indescribable and in that moment, a movement was born. Now, Alaina is traveling across the country to as many cities as possible to share her story and to encourage other women to do the same. She believes that in our vulnerability, and in sharing our stories - we can all empower each other and truly be free.
