Seeking Sponsors for the 2024 FemPreneur Summit!
Contact [email protected], if your organization would like to help underwrite this special event and connect with our amazing female entrepreneurs!
EXHIBIT.
The robust Resource Marketplace, filled with 20+ relevant and interesting exhibitors will be included. If you have a product or service that would be of benefit to the attendees of the 2024 FemPreneur Summit, we welcome you to become an exhibitor in our Resource Marketplace, and participate in this powerful day of business-building.
Exhibitor Registration, limited to 24, will open soon.
BACKGROUND.
While there are several incubators, start-up support organizations, small business supporters and advisers out there, many focus their offerings and services on businesses that plan to build something that can grow exponentially and eventually be sold for a lot of money. However, many female entrepreneurs start businesses with different goals in mind than building an empire. They start their companies so they can have the freedom, flexibility and fulfillment they need while keeping their families as a top priority. The support, mentoring, collaborating and advising that these female entrepreneurs need is much harder to find when they don't fit into the traditional "startup" or "entrepreneur" molds.
That's why the FemPreneur Summit was created!
