This year’s event, organized in collaboration with the National Women’s Business Council, features an impressive lineup of co-sponsors, including the Nasdaq Entrepreneurial Center, Wells Fargo, and the Association of Women’s Business Centers. The summit will host virtual panels, interactive “Ask an Expert” workshops, and engaging fireside chats aimed at helping women-owned small businesses expand and flourish.
