What happens when a group of 500+ motivated, creative and talented women gather together for a unique summit in San Francisco? I know, I was curious to find out too, so when a request to photograph this event landed in my inbox I couldn’t pass it up!

My mission was to capture the people, the interactions and the “magic” that happens at SERENDIPITY. This conference was hosted by the The Guild, a professional networking platform for women of all career stages. The founder, Anne Cocquyt (pictured above), described The Guild to me as a service that is all about connecting people in intimate ways that unlocks value.

If you know me, you know I’m very down for that. And so it was, everywhere I turned, there were women listening and learning, all day long.

The picture perfect setting at Fort Mason’s General’s Residence added to the beauty of what was being created throughout the day.

SERENDIPITY

The occurrence or development of events by chance
in a happy or beneficial way

I left the event inspired and certain that we could all use a bit more serendipity in our life!
