The fourth annual Women in Biz Network (WIBN) conference takes place on October 19 and 20, and will feature two Profit Canada Magazine top women entrepreneurs, Kelsey Ramsden and Victoria Sopik. TSN Canada’s first female broadcaster Teresa Kruze and Juno Award-winning Aboriginal artists Brenda MacIntyre, known as Success Shamman, will also speak at the inspirational conference.
Leigh Mitchell, founder of WIBN, says that many women walk away from their business dreams in part because the infrastructure to help bolster women in the economy is lacking. “Even though we have lower rates of unemployment during economic downturns, women are expected to improvise and create our own solutions without help,” she explains. “The astronomical cost of daycare alone creates a chilling effect for mothers who wish to return to the workforce.”
This year’s conference brings together some of North America’s top female entrepreneurs to talk about how they built their empires and provide real world skills for women interested in turning their passions into profit. Attendees will partake in a day of networking, relationship-building, workshops, and a mini MBA in small business growth.
The conference is an affordable opportunity for women entrepreneurs to grow their networks and find the support and training they need. Learn more at https://www.facebook.com/womenbiznetwork.
