The conference, sponsored by the National Council of Women's Organizations, hosted student leaders from around the country and included comprehensive training on campus organizing, lobbying, and advocacy.

Soliman and Asplin met with members of Congress and women leaders, including: Representatives Nita Lowey, Carolyn Kilpatrick, Lois Capps, Hilda Solis, and Carolyn Maloney; as well as Senators Barbara Boxer and Hillary Clinton. The conference also hosted dynamic speakers Ellie Smeal, president of the Feminist Majority Foundation; Dolores Huerta, co-founder of the United Farm Workers; and Kim Ganday, president of the National Organization for Women. The conference concluded with a press conference announcing the reintroduction of the Equal Rights Amendment.
