‘BusinessFAB’? If So, This Women’s Entrepreneurship and Leadership Conference Is For You

On Sept. 13, the BusinessFAB Women’s Entrepreneurship + Leadership Conference will make its debut at the luxurious Salamander Resort and Spa in Middleberg, Va. Less than one hour from our nation’s capital, this posh, beautiful resort is the perfect getaway you need to unwind, network, and focus on your business. The event will include influential experts empowering women to take their business and leadership to a whole new level.

“I wanted this event to be a way to give the burgeoning entrepreneur an opportunity to meet and network with successful women,” says conference creator and power entrepreneur Kathey Porter. Porter is the CEO and founder of BusinessFAB Enterprises L.L.C.  A former multicultural marketing executive and expert in supplier diversity, Porter’s primary goal is to create an event that positions women to create opportunity, connect with others and cultivate success.

“The main goal of the conference is to bring together experts in leadership and entrepreneurship to share their stories of success, challenge, survival, transformation and reinvention,” Porter says.

This inspirational, one day event was created for power women looking to make power moves in business. Registration begins at 11 a.m., and at noon, the event officially kicks off with a leadership luncheon featuring actress and entrepreneur, Daphne Maxwell Reid. Reid is best known for her work as “the second Vivian” on the hit show The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

The agenda also includes other top-notch speakers including nationally renowned small business expert Melinda Emerson. Emerson, known as SmallBizLady, is globally sought after for her keynote presentations and business acumen. She’s been featured in numerous publications, including Black Enterprise, The Wall Street Journal & Fortune Magazine. Emerson will bring her knowledge and insider secrets to teach attendees how to create a brand in demand.

The agenda includes other top-notch speakers and distinguished panelists, including local Channel 8 news producer Courtney Gwynn and District Director of the Small Business Administration, Carl Knoblock. Panelists will discuss positioning yourself for success and how to make being a woman owned business work for you.

Of course, what is a conference without cocktails and an opportunity to connect with other trail blazers?  That’s why this conference concludes in grand style with a BusinessFAB cocktails and networking reception.
