Attendees will leave the conference empowered, elevated and educated.

Each day has a specific topic. Day one will focus on “Mind, Body and Soul: Going After Your Dreams”; day two will present “Business Mastery: Power PR You Can Do It!” and day three will showcase “Money Matters: How to Manage Cash Flow and Increase Your Cash Visibility.”

The event will feature keynote speakers Whitney Reynolds of the “The Whitney Reynolds Show” on PBS; Jacqueline Camacho-Ruiz, international speaker, author and founder of the Naperville-based JJR Marketing; and Barry Schimmel, Chicago-based consultant, author and motivational speaker. There will also be social events, many breakout sessions for women entrepreneurs and more than 40 exhibitors with business resources.

A portion of the ticket proceeds will benefit the following charitable partners: The Fig Factor Foundation, Mary Lou and Arthur F. Mahone Fund and The Far’Falla Girl organization.

Why should you sponsor?

There is an amazing quote from Audrey Hepburn, “Nothing is impossible, the word itself says, I’m Possible.”  Profound, yet so simple.  As female entrepreneurs, we get so overwhelmed with life that we tend to forget who we are.  Experiencing this myself, I wanted to find a way to come full circle to EMPOWER WOMEN to know their value and the true meaning of who they are.  At the end of the day, they can say YES… I’m Possible!
