This welcoming evening brings women together to connect with fellow entrepreneurs, hear real stories from women who are building and leading, and celebrate the wins along the way, big and small.

You'll leave feeling energized, supported, and more connected to a community that understands the journey.

You'll also learn about AWE programs and services available to support your business, along with other local and regional resources designed to help you grow. Because no one builds a business alone.
