Great morning, Broadsheet subscribers! The GSA’so called Emily Murphy goes ahead using all the presidential transition,” GM reverses course on service to get a Trump deregulation campaign, and we all get a sneak peek at the lineup of Fortune’ Brainstorm TECH. Have a great Tuesday.

Now ’s guest article comes to people from Fortune senior author Michal Lev-Ram:

-Aspen belongs on online. We frequently cover highlights and takeaways in our Most Successful Ladies events here from the Broadsheet. But there is a different Fortune collecting occurring next week which I’d love to let you know about.

For decades, Brainstorm TECH has pulled together a number of the funniest minds in engineering to get an yearly event in Aspen, Colorado. (Since one post explained it right in 2014, the summit is”more private than SXSW, maybe not quite as elite since Sun Valley, at a much better place than CES,”–a cocktail which has particular meaning for all those people who’ve attended a lot of tech conferences in dim tradition centers.) Obviously, we needed to rethink the on site occasion this season, and it’s currently happening nearly Dec. 1-2. However, our lineup–along with the hot subjects we could ’wont wait to share –are equally as timely as you can.

This season’s topic is”Innovating at a Period of Crisis,” that is a term I will wager all of you are able to relate to. The topic of technological transformation, and also the way the pandemic has {} this tendency, will be especially high in mind. And we will have many female leaders about the schedule who will discuss their viewpoints and experience on how their businesses are already embracing, and sometimes, forcing, this change.

Personally, I am eager to join Deirdre O’Brien, SVP of retail and individuals in the Apple, to the way the iPhone-maker has accommodated its own shops and its own workforce into the limitations of this pandemic. I am also excited to hear by Donna Langley, chairman, Universal Filmed Entertainment Group; Kathleen McLaughlin, chief sustainability officer, Walmart; Michelle A. Williams, dean of this school, T.H. Chan School of Public Health, Harvard University; Stacey Cunningham, president, and NYSE Group; Julie Sweet, CEO, Accenture; Jenn Hyman, co-founder and CEO, Rent The Runway; Stacy Brown-Philpot, founding member, SB Opportunity Fund; Jennifer Tejada, CEO, PagerDuty; Terri Burns, spouse, GV, plus a Lot More. (And to make certain, we also have a number of leading, male leaders talking this calendar year, such as the CEOs of both IBM, Slack, Rakuten, and Under Armour.)

As a long-time co-chair of MPW and Brainstorm TECH, I could not be prouder of the approaching occasion, which my colleagues and I’ve worked hard to schedule. Attendance is by invitation only, however there are a number of virtual”chairs” left. Please use here if curious , or simply take me a note. While we can not deliver one of the fresh, mountain air, we’ve got lots of thought-provoking conversations within shop.
