2025 Keynote Sessions

Keynote Speaker – Julie Gulick

Title: From DEI to DIY because Inclusion Was Never a Corporate Program: Be the Change. (Hire her, hype her, help her.) Description: With DEI programs disappearing, it’s time to remember: inclusion was never just a corporate initiative—it was always personal. This keynote explores the legacy of women in tech who thrived through collective support, not policy alone. Through history, humor, and a call to action, we’ll focus on what comes next: hiring her, hyping her, helping her. Because when we lift each other up, we all rise. Julie serves as the President & CEO of Bally Design, a Pittsburgh-based firm specializing in industrial design and graphical user interface design, helping companies create intuitive, user-centered products. Throughout her career, she has been recognized as an outstanding visionary, earning a reputation for driving innovation and strategic growth. She also holds three patents, underscoring her contributions to advancing technology and design. Beyond her professional achievements, Julie is deeply committed to community service and actively supports organizations that foster innovation, culture, environmental issues, and social impact, including: 

• Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra – Board of Directors & Jack Heinz Advisory Board Member
• LifeX Greenhouse – Board Member, supporting healthcare innovation

Afternoon Keynote Speaker – Cooper Monroe

Title: “From Underestimated Networks to Unstoppable Force” 

Description: In 2004, when Cooper Munroe started her “mom blog,” the tech world dismissed women like her as irrelevant, but those “invisible” networks became the foundation of today’s $16 billion influencer marketing industry. Through the story of building one of the world’s first influencer marketing agencies, Cooper reveals how women didn’t just participate in the digital revolution, we architected it from kitchen tables and coffee shops, one authentic connection at a time. This isn’t about breaking glass ceilings, it’s about recognizing we’ve been building the new infrastructure all along, and claiming the leadership that’s always been ours.

Cooper Munroe, CEO of The Motherhood Inc., is an award-winning influencer marketing expert with 30 years experience working in public relations and marketing for the world’s leading agencies, consumer brands and non-profits. As one of the original “mom bloggers” who started her blog in 2004, Cooper didn’t realize that her efforts would later turn into one of the first influencer marketing agencies: The Motherhood, founded in 2006 before the term “influencer marketing” even existed.

Cooper is a true industry pioneer who helped shape the multi-billion dollar influencer marketing landscape we know today. Parents Magazine listed her as one of the most powerful moms on the web, and as one of the “gamechangers of PR” by PR News, she also played a pivotal role in women getting paid to do influencer work. Her agency has executed major campaigns resulting in hundreds of millions of social media impressions.
