Last week we celebrated our 20th Annual Entrepreneur Conference + Expo and it was ICONIC. We chose the name ICON because the Conference is awe-inspiring every year and our 20th anniversary was better than ever. The International Conference brings together such a diverse group of women entrepreneurs, who can inspire one another and help each other succeed. If you couldn’t make this year’s event, we’re here to fill you in on all the greatest moments.
What is ICON?
ICON is the #1 women’s entrepreneur conference, of its kind, that is hosted annually in August. This networking event brings together some of the brightest and most accomplished achievers in a beautifully diverse, inspiring, and supportive environment. Our members that attend ICON are inspired, motivated, positive business owners and entrepreneurs who are here to help each other succeed. Here at eWomenNetwork, our mission is to help one million women entrepreneurs achieve one million dollars in annual revenue. Our International Conference is focused all on helping women launch, grow and scale their businesses with the exchange of ideas, best practices, tips, and strategies.
