Next week, Makers is hosting a three-day conference where Sheryl Sandberg {Author of Lean In], Eric Schmidt [CEO of Google], Tim Armstrong [CEO of AOL], and others plan to “reset the agenda for women in the workplace in the 21st century.” Where does one gather to hit the restart on the stagnant wage gap and institutionalized sexism for the next 86 years? At “the picturesque Terranea Resort, located on a breathtaking stretch of Pacific coastline,” of course. The revolution also has time for “Sunrise Yoga” classes in the morning. Work-life balance, ladies and billionaires.
