This year’s Women’s Business Network Tradeshow includes something special.
We are offering 14 vendor tables featuring different businesses, and this year those tables will be available to members at no cost. Spaces will be claimed on a first come, first served basis through the vendor table sign up in the WBN monthly email being sent on March 16th, so members will want to watch their inbox closely.
For attendees, this means even more value in one evening. On April 1st at The Venue, starting at 5:30 pm, you will have the opportunity to hear from two tradeshow speakers and connect with 14 local businesses all in one room. It is a strong chance to discover new services, start new relationships, and see the depth of talent within this community.
A lively evening, two insightful speakers, and 14 local businesses to explore. This is one of the most dynamic WBN events of the year.✨️ ... See MoreSee Less

On April 1st at The Venue, starting at 5:30 pm, our annual Tradeshow will open with a conversation many women in business need to hear.
Sheena Howard, owner and founder of Acceptance Clinic, psychotherapist, and clinical nurse specialist, will present The Hormone Tax on Women Entrepreneurs: The cost of building a business in a body the business world ignores.
This session takes a clear look at the hidden costs many women carry while building a business, including disrupted sleep, anxiety, brain fog, decision fatigue, emotional strain, and the self blame that can follow when capacity shifts but expectations do not. Sheena will bring language to an experience many women are navigating quietly and offer a practical framework for identifying what needs support, what needs redesign, and how success can stop coming at the expense of well-being.
