Work-Life Balance: Does Technology Help or Hinder?

Work-life balance. We all aspire to it yet it can feel elusive and plain unattainable. At one time, the digital revolution promised to make work-life balance a reality. But has it? Is technology the panacea or the albatross to work-life balance?

Join The ARF Women in Analytics group at Ogilvy & Mather in Chicago on December 6 to discuss and debate. Industry leaders will share their research, perspectives and personal journeys.

Volunteer your voice and vigor during this afternoon of conversations, connections and cocktails. Together we will inspire, motivate and energize the women driving growth in the billion-dollar analytics industry.
