MIAMI—The theme of this year’s CREW Network Convention and Marketplace, “The Rewards of Risk,” would be evident even if it weren’t emblazoned on the meeting’s signage. Empowering women to take chances was a recurring topic at every session and event that took place during the conference, held this week at the Loews Miami Beach here.

The organization brought together a select group of female leaders for the second-ever Distinguished Leaders Roundtable, moderated by BBC World News America lead anchor Katty Kay, to discuss their rise to the top and what’s needed to effect change within the industry. Kay, who was also opening speaker for the next day, is the co-author of two books: Womenomics and, most recently, The Confidence Code: The Science and Art of Self-Assurance, which combines research in genetics, gender, behavior and cognition to help women understand the importance of confidence and learn how they can achieve it. She was joined by a panel of confidence and successful executives: Diane Butler, CEO of the Butler Burgher Group; Pat Goldstein, vice chairman and head of commercial real estate at Emigrant Bank; and Frances Aldrich Sevilla-Sacasa, CEO of Banco Ita International.
