WBEC-East | Getting Ready for Conference

Conferences and events are the jackpots of business opportunities… if you know how to navigate them correctly. Between all of the sessions, receptions, networking events, and committee meetings, you will encounter dozens of opportunities to meet lenders, corporate partners, and other entrepreneurs.

This interactive workshop is specifically designed to prepare a business owner for a conference, whether you plan on attending the 2023 WBENC National Conference, or any other industry conference or business fair in the future.

You’ll walk away with a new appreciation of how to:

• Elevate your business pitch
