This time last week, 100 New York-based female execs, founders, and influencers were flying high on a Jetblue chartered flight leaving San Francisco. They had just spent two action-packed days with 100 west coast boss ladies. And to think Marie Claire editor in chief Anne Fulenwider, clad in a fluorescent orange safety vest, had toasted the women in JFK's Jetblue terminal only 36 hours earlier, signaling the start of the start of MC's second annual #PowerTrip.

We wish the fun never had to end—and we're already counting down the days to Power Trip 2018. Until then, we'll relive every amazing moment by scrolling through fellow Power Trippers Insta feeds, playing the onstage sessions on loop, and getting major inspo from the content session recaps.

And the Mint pods transformed into photo booths, mini-MDNA spas, bra fittings with La Perla, de-stress consultations with Dr. Samantha Boardman, and meet-up spaces for all attendees.
