WBENC will hold its 10th annual Women in Business national conference and business fair in San Francisco, CA, June 9-11, 2009. More than 2,500 attendees and 400 exhibitors are expected to attend the three-day event. WBENC’s national conference and business fair is the largest event of its kind in the US for women’s business enterprises (WBEs). During the event, WBEs, senior corporate executives, supplier diversity and procurement professionals, and government representatives fostered many business opportunities by participating in an ambitious agenda including networking activities, workshops, general sessions and special events.

WBENC’s “International Day” is an additional program that enhances the 2009 Women in Business (WIB) conference. The mission is to educate women’s business enterprises (WBEs), supply chain managers, and supplier diversity staff of multinational corporations on how to do business together in the international marketplace. It will feature outstanding speakers, panel discussions and workshops focused on international business engagement. There will be approximately 200 individuals in attendance including representation from several other countries. Click here to view sponsorship opportunities for International Day.
