Women’s Entrepreneurial Virtual Symposium

Women’s Entrepreneurial Virtual Symposium

About

The Women’s Entrepreneurial Virtual Symposium is a two-day education series to advance the capability & capacity building efforts for all women-owned businesses throughout the WBEC Ohio River Valley network and beyond. The Symposium is designed to advise, drive growth, and remove barriers for historically underutilized businesses.

During this interactive Symposium, you’ll discover the do’s, don’ts, and unwritten rules of building relationships with corporate Supplier Diversity professionals.

Plus, you’ll learn from subject matter experts in corporations, and women-owned businesses who have successfully overcome barriers to scale their businesses. They’ve been in your shoes and can provide insights on how to grow your business enterprise, and mistakes to avoid in four workshops: 1. Scaling your Business, 2. ESG, 3. Marketing, and 4. Cybersecurity. More than inspiration, this hands-on Symposium is an opportunity to work on your business and walk away prepared with a plan of action to grow your business like a pro.

This event is brought to you by Women’s Business Enterprise Council Ohio River Valley Women of Color Sub-Committee and sponsored by Procter & Gamble. This event is open to all certified and non-certified women business enterprises, and corporate representatives, and is best suited for businesses at or with the potential to be six-figures or more.

Workshop Topics: 

1) ESG 101

2) Leading Edge Marketing

3) 4-Step Blueprint to Scale Your Business

4) Winning the War on Cybersecurity

5) A Day in the Life of a Supplier Diversity Professional Panel
