What takes place at the Women’s Business Network event?
The Women’s Business Network events are the launching pad for further connection so come ready to connect, learn, make some new friends and business contacts, as well as have fun! The first 30 minutes is check-in and networking. This is a great way to connect with someone new and re-connect with women you already know. After the first 30 minutes, we hear from a guest speaker (or two) – they teach something applicable to being a woman in business and you’re sure to walk away with practical knowledge you can implement right away. You’ll then have the opportunity to share about your business as well as hear from the other women about theirs! We believe in making spaces where each woman can feel seen, heard, known, and belong. We also have a fun group photo during the event so that we can highlight the women that attended and cheer each other on in between events!
