The former secretary of state's address was featured in a video address at the MAKERS conference, described on the site as an "opportunity to bring together hundreds of trailblazing leaders, inviting everyone to #BEBOLD, elevate the conversation and raise challenges and solutions through action-oriented session." The three-day conference kicked off on Monday in Palos Verdes, California.
