Conference chair Laurie Dalton White said, "She transcends politics, we are not a political event. she is a working woman, a working mother and represents the best elements of both of those."
Mrs. Obama will be interviewed by writer, show runner, and mega producer Shonda Rhimes.
"The intent is to create a community so that women can come together and help each other out in the workplace," she said. "Here we are 14 years into it and I think we've seen the concept has resonated."
The Conference will take place October 3 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center.
