WXW Forum 10 – Now We’re Talking
Friday, May 21
Kensington Court
610 Hilton Boulevard, Ann Arbor
8am - 7pm
WXW is hosting its dynamic, fun-filled, all-day forum for women business leaders. The day-long event provides an interactive and lively experience with regional speakers, workshops, breakout sessions, and networking activities. Our mission is to engage the business community and work through the common issues women business leaders face in their efforts to grow and improve their companies.
This year we are offering our third annual conference. After feedback at last year’s May conference, WXW attendees told us they wanted “more, more, more!” So this year we are doubling the number of workshops you can attend. In the morning, we’ll host intensive and interactive 2-hour workshops facilitated by amazing local business leaders, who are prepared for your burning business questions. Then, we’ll hear from a panel of the region’s leading business women. After lunch attendees will then have the opportunity to choose another workshop and one of eight different breakout sessions. And finally we’ll wrap up with a happy hour that includes wine, food, music, and the best networking opportunities in the state. We expect 300 attendees from the Ann Arbor area, Southeast Michigan, and Northeast Ohio.
