Exceptional conference!! The content, quality and quantity of speakers, venue, scheduling, are all exceptional. It is engaging and motivating, and I don’t know of any other event where you’d have the opportunity to hear from so many “keynote” speakers.
There is nothing more powerful than inspiration. A wonderful conference to learn, meet other entrepreneurs, share your story and be inspired to achieve your goals. Amazing!!
Editor AgencyExcellent location, food, really enjoyed the Plenary sessions. Met some wonderful women in business.
Inspiration, knowledge, networking
Anita Agrawal Best BargainsI have been a delegate and speaker at many, many, many conferences but this one is I have to say is the best I have been to. When I first looked at the itinerary I could not wrap my head around why you would choose such world wide speakers to talk about things larger than us small businesses but it wasn’t long after the speakers began on Wednesday evening that I became so deeply inspired and then even more so as the next two days passed.

I am feeling inspired, educated and frankly blown away by the many amazing women and men that we encountered over the three days. What a fantastic and first-class event! It so exceeded any expectations that I had and I have been passing the word around at BMO that we should be very proud to be the presenting sponsor at this event.
