The Business Women's Forum (BWF^®) is the largest and longest running full-day annual conference for women in Connecticut. This exciting event showcases nationally known speakers and trainers who educate and inspire attendees both personally and professionally.

Now in our 26th year, this amazing conference continues to gain momentum through our loyal following and our supporters who make it all possible. This year's conference will be held on Friday, September 26th at the Connecticut Convention Center, Hartford.

We have two fantastic keynote speakers this year as well as several powerful workshops on pertinent topics. The day begins with motivational speaker Eileen McDargh, followed by morning workshops that take place in break-out rooms. We reconvene for lunch at noon featuring Goldie Hawn; Actress, Author, Entrepreneur and Philanthropist. After the keynote address we will break out into afternoon workshops. Everyone will reconvene at 4:00pm for our wrap-up reception. What better way to end a terrific day than with wine and cheese, a chocolate fountain and fabulous door prizes!

Please join us along with hundreds of extraordinary women as we make new friends and continue to learn new ways to go for the gold. Space is limited so register today. Hope to see you there!
