Women in Titanium has several events planned for 2019,
and we would love for you to join us!

Below is more information about each event. Feel free to share with colleagues and friends – we can’t wait to see you there!

Thank you for your continued participation in the Women in Titanium programming.

We had table top displays at 3 STEM events, TSI Titanium hosted a plant tour and reception, and we had an all-time high attendance at the Vienna reception with our guest speaker Rita Hausken.  Now we look forward to Mobile, Alabama to finish out the year.

Several WiT members have expressed their wish to have their Sunday back -- rather than cramming more into our hectic lives, they have asked us to incorporate the WiT programming within the already scheduled conference week.

We want you to know we hear you and we want to make it better!

The Sunday programming will be consolidated this year to give everyone a break.  We will still host a welcome reception from 4pm to 5pm on Sunday so everyone can have a little time to get ready for the week.

Guest speaker, Katie Mehnert, Founder of Pink Petro will be shifted over to Tuesday afternoon in the general session room and hopefully by the change in scheduling, more of our male colleagues will want to join us.

Here is the schedule for your quick reference:

Sunday, September 22nd
4:00 pm  WiT Networking Reception
5:00 pm  Titanium Exhibition Hall Open 

Tuesday, September 24th
2:00 pm – 3:00 pm
Katie Mehnert
Founder, Pink Petro

The Art of Pivoting in Challenging Times
Katie Mehnert’s got a business and a life mantra:  Growing with the flow.    Crisis is the heart of transformation and usually produces change. It takes time to live through a few and come to see the gifts a crisis produces. From her earlier career with Enron to leadership roles at big oil giants, Katie has held global leadership roles in health and safety during periods of financial crisis, spills, divestment, and globalization.   In her rousing keynote, Katie, a Hurricane Harvey “thriver” will talk about her choices to grow by seeking opportunity—not security on her path to social energy entrepreneur. Her chaotic, imperfect corporate path drove her to build Pink Petro, a digital community and Experience Energy, a global careers site to help companies prepare for the looming talent shortage and end the inclusion gap.  The modern architect of culture change in energy, Katie Mehnert is a disruptor, gap buster and community creator. She’s an author, speaker, social media influencer, and frequently sought after source and culture expert. She is the Founder and CEO of Pink Petro and Experience Energy and Chairman of the Board for Lean In Energy 

We hope this shift in programming will help you avoid those dreaded Sunday blues and might allow you to do, well, precisely nothing, actually…before the Titanium Conference begins.

If you have not RSVP’d for the Women in Titanium Reception on Sunday, please modify your registration to let us know you are coming or simply send us a message and we'll update your record.

Thank you, in advance, for your consideration.

Best regards,

Jennifer Simpson
