WOMEN THRIVING FEARLESSLY EXPO 2021
Friday, October 15th 2021 | 4:00pm - 9:00pm CST
Willis Tower | 233 S. Wacker Drive 99th Floor | Chicago, IL 60606
Chicagoland's Largest Expo for Women in Business!
[In-person & Virtual!]
The W.T.F. Expo is designed to provide a "one stop shop" for women in business. You can expect multiple resources to assist you in all phases of life and business - funding, marketing, personal development, and partnership building. You can also expect to meet women who have been down the road you're going who are more than willing to assist. Finally, you can expect to leave the event with tangible tools that can be executed right away to begin the next phase of your business.
ALL OF THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED IN A FUN, SAFE,
AND ENCOURAGING ENVIRONMENT!
This year's theme: "Getting Down to Business!"
We're going back to basics to properly position you to level up. Attend this incredible event to:
- Set up your business entity properly
- Build business credit
- Create business allies
- Learn key essentials that every business(woman) needs (Marketing, automation, funding sources, business accounting, insurance, self confidence...etc.)
Our panel discussions include prominent ladies from all over the country!
Join us in our exclusive in-person VIP Lounge for gift bags, plus food and beverages.
The 2021 expo will be a hybrid event. We will meet in-person as well as virtually, making this our first international W.T.F. EXPO!
PRODUCED BY ERIKA GILCHRIST
"My passion for creating this expo stems from my lack of resources while building my business for 20 years. I decided to be the person I wish I had when I was trying to thrive. Nobody should have to build their passion alone. I'm determined to lay resources at the feet of women that were otherwise hidden."
