Deep-Dive Panel Discussion: Staying Power
Date & Time
Thursday, November 19, 2026, 4:45 PM - 5:30 PM
Description
To close the program, each of our presenters will return for a dynamic panel discussion moderated by Consulting Magazine Director Michael Webb. The panel takes on the question the lightning talks set up: what keeps the leaders firms can't afford to lose, and what women inside firms can do now. Is flexibility a career cost or a retention strategy? The conversation explores origination credit on shared pursuits, the undervalued work that keeps teams running, and where the time AI frees up actually goes. The session closes with a rapid-fire round and one question for the room: What should a firm start doing Monday to keep its senior women?
