I am going to Orlando later this month to the Enterprising Women conference - perhaps I will see you there! My online network, called WorldWIT, is bring a group and we would love to connect with you if you're also in attendance.
I find that two or three women-focused business conferences a year gives me a tremendous boost and always new and fantastic networking connections. Of course I go to co-ed events also, but the women-focused events have a special energy that I wouldn't miss for anything.
So I'll be at the BWN Trailblazers Conference in May, and at their Summit and Gala in October. I'll be at our own Camp WorldWIT event in May, here in Estes Park, Colorado, wearing shorts and sandals and learning and networking with women from all over the world. I hope to attend the annual WIPP (Women Impacting Public Policy) conference in September, and local and regional women-focused events across the U.S. There is nothing like getting together and gaining energy from other women in business to sharpen your focus and build your morale!
Haven't been to a women-focused business conference yet? Do it for yourself, this year. Men are the greatest, let me be quick to say (I'm married to one, am raising four small ones, and of course have three brothers and zillions of wonderful male friends) but hanging around with other women in business is not to be missed. Not this year, or ever again if you can help it.
