Description
At the Helm is a community for women business owners. What started as a women's business conference in Los Angeles in 2011 has grown into a movement. In 2013, we're working our way around the country, connecting women business owners along the way. Our goal is to help you create new relationships, learn valuable information, and grow your business.
Los Angeles is the third stop on our US tour and we're excited about this event in our home city! Join other female freelancers, entrepreneurs, and business owners for what promises to be a great evening! In addition to hearing from our speakers, you'll have to chance to participate in a special speed networking session with other local business owners. Connect to build and deepen valuable relationships during our open networking time.
Co-Hosted by Women Empowered - www.women-empowered.com
Women Empowered is an organization that connects, educates and supports women of all ages and backgrounds, and inspires them to give back to their communities through mentorship, networking and volunteerism.
