2013 WBENC NATIONAL CONFERENCE | |
The 2013 WBENC National Conference and Business Fair will be held June 25-27, 2013, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Online registration is now open.
Attendees will have access to opportunities that connect WBENC-Certified WBEs, WBENC Corporate Members, Regional Partner Organization (RPO) leaders, RPO Corporate Members, government agency representatives and small business owners.
For those interested in participating in Matchmaker meetings, you must be registered as a full conference attendee by May 15, 2013. Matchmaker meetings will be held June 27, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Our members know there is no better time to experience the best of WBENC!
I have attended the national WBENC convention for the last six years. The educational opportunities are very worthwhile, but the opportunity to meet so many extraordinary women business owners is amazing. I have been a mentor and been mentored through the connections that I have made over the years with both WBEs and corporate members. The women from my TUCK Executive Education class use the convention as a reunion so we can reconnect and catch up on each other's success. I look forward to spending time with them and the members of the Women's Business Council - Southwest in Minneapolis in June."
