2020 3rd Annual WOMEN Conference

“it’s all about you and your business”

For your registration fee of $40 you will be getting:

— A continental breakfast
— Lunch
— A ½ of a single table to display some of your products, brochures, business cards etc.  You are required to bring your own tablecloths.  As we are expecting up to 100 conference attendees, space is limited so be sure to register soon to ensure a space. This is not intended to be a trade show but an opportunity during the conference to display/swap some of your products to the other WOMEN attendees, hence the small table spaces.
— An opportunity to network, product swap, and find out what other products and services are available to you to help your business, right here on Manitoulin Island.
— The conference itself, which includes great speakers who will be talking about a variety of topics
