"Our goal was to create a valuable platform for learning, finding your path, and gaining inspiration- and we succeeded," said Semeshkina. "I look forward to seeing all the participants return next year to share the amazing results they have achieved. I would also be delighted to welcome some of you to the stage. Because we are women, and we can achieve anything!"
