Last year, PayScale hosted its first ever Equal Pay Day event. The event involved over 150 local men and women, plus thousands on Facebook who tuned in to the panel discussion we broadcasted live on Facebook.
We’re doing it again, and it’s going to be even bigger and better than ever. So, this Equal Pay Day, we’re flipping the script and instead talking about equal power for women, which ultimately leads to equal pay.
Join us at PayScale HQ on Tuesday April 10th for Equal Power Day.
- Where: PayScale Headquarters, 1000 1st Ave S in Seattle.
- Tickets: Secure your free ticket here.
- When: Tuesday, April 10th from 9 a.m.-10:30 a.m. Doors open at 8:30 a.m.
- What: We’re hosting three guest speakers to discuss challenges and solutions to overcoming the gender wage gap, and how to claim your power in the modern business world. We will also provide free swag, breakfast, and a full coffee bar so you can get your caffeine fix. Our speakers include:
