23rd Women’s Business Conference in Eau Claire
More than 400 people gathered at the Pablo Center in Eau Claire on Wednesday for the 23rd annual Women’s Business Conference. Whether well into managing a business or just coming with an idea, this conference is meant to help women in the Chippewa Valley at whatever level they are at.
Anna Cardarella, the CEO of Western Dairyland, says you never know what connections you’ll be able to make and they want to facilitate any support they can.
"I meet women who are at all stages of their business, from just having an idea, to meeting with others, to networking, to maybe doing some business counseling, to becoming an exhibitor, to then mentoring other women, you know, and helping other women climb up. So, just happy to be here today,” said Cardarella.
This event was hosted by Western Dairyland’s Women’s Business Center. The event included more than 75 businesses displaying their work and 15 educational sessions.
