Women's Business Development Center Is Regional Host Council To 2013 National Conference & Business Fair In Minneapolis
CHICAGO, May 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The Women's Business Development Center (WBDC), headquartered in Chicago, will serve as the regional host council for the Women's Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) 2013 National Conference & Business Fair at the Minneapolis Convention Center in Minneapolis, MN, June 25-27.
More than 3,000 decision makers from the nation's leading corporations, government entities and women's business enterprises (WBEs) will discuss generating business together to stimulate economic growth. Successful business leaders, from senior executives at major corporations to accomplished business owners, will provide inspiration and actionable strategies for sustainable career advancement and business growth.
WBENC will also present a panel of powerful female decision makers from WBENC Corporate Members who are in the position to cultivate WBE business development at their companies. From this vantage point, they will provide valuable advice and guidance on what WBEs can do to build their corporate relationships and business.
The event also offers three days of interactive workshops and business-building opportunities including the Business Fair, the largest of its kind with over 300 exhibitors. WBENC's robust workshops focus on what WBEs need to know to enhance their positions as suppliers: how to hone skills that are sought-after by their clients, leverage existing expertise for greater growth, and build their capacity to meet the increasingly sophisticated needs of major corporations and government entities. The conference is open to everyone. To register and for more information, visit http://www.wbenc.org/wbencconf/.
