Is It Me? Event Sponsorship

Overview

MSK’s Is It Me?" Event is designed as a safe space where women of color can come together to explore themes of professional self-reflection, empowerment, and collective growth. Through keynote addresses, panel discussions, and interactive Q&A, we aim to spark critical conversations that challenge stereotypes, address systemic barriers, and empower attendees to pursue their personal and professional goals with confidence and resilience.

Upon arrival, attendees will enjoy a networking reception with cocktails, a live DJ, and hors devours. The CEO welcome address will commence at 7pm, followed by the keynote speaker’s presentation. Afterward, guests will have the opportunity to ask questions live and benefit from open dialog with the keynote speaker as well as other subject-matter experts. The event will end with an abbreviated closing reception, allowing for photos with the keynote speaker and other VIP guests as well as additional networking.
