Continuing The Conversation: Building Synergy at the WBENC Conference
June 12 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
June 12, 2025
12pm to 1pm EST
If you joined us at our Women MEAN Business Summit, you’ve already experienced the power of collective action. One of our key takeaways, “Harnessing Synergy” in partnership with fellow WBEs, has never been more vital.
As we look ahead to the WBENC National Conference, this one-hour virtual panel session will empower you with the “how and why” of building meaningful, collaborative connections with other WBEs. Together, we’ll explore how to leverage each other’s strengths, share resources, and foster relationships that drive mutual growth and lasting success.
This is more than a session—it’s a call to action for building a stronger, more connected WBE community. Join us to hear from expert WBEs, and gain valuable insights that extend beyond the conference.
