WASHINGTON, Sept. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Every entrepreneurial journey starts with a dream, and this year's National Women's Business Conference (WBC) is reconnecting the nation's women business owners with the joy, passion and more they felt when they first started their businesses. This annual event—held on October 9-11 at The Galt House in Louisville, Kentucky—is hosted by the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO®) and presented by Bank of America for the 10^th consecutive year.

"Year after year, and decade after decade, NAWBO's legacy and impact is created by women business owners who want to support one another and see each other succeed," said Karen Bennetts, NAWBO National Board Chair. "Are you living the life you imagined as a woman business owner? Or is it time to reimagine? Are you ready to take that next step and grow? Or do you need your community to surround and lift you up? NAWBO is here for you, at the WBC and all year long, no matter your dream."

The WBC's inspiring speakers include Molly Bloom, speaker, entrepreneur and bestselling author of the memoir Molly's Game, and Magie Cook, a successful Latino businesswoman who started Maggie's All-Natural Fresh Salsas and Dips and grew it into a multi-million-dollar company that Campbell's purchased. Other highlights include "come and play" Louisville experiences and a 9-hole golf outing, a resource-rich exhibit hall, breakout and Continuing Legal Education sessions, opportunities for fun, swag, networking and more.

The event culminates with the anticipated announcement of the 2022 Woman Business Owner of the Year Award sponsored by Bank of America.
