Held in the Beautiful Hyatt Riverfront Hotel in Jacksonville Florida, the National Women's Business Conference for 2019 hosted nearly 700 attendees from more than 30 chapters.
Atlanta had one of the largest delegations, with 11 people attending.
Themed Our Time is Now, the conference featured three tracks for educational programming, including million-dollar + businesses, medium-sized businesses, and Next Generation businesses. Topics ranged from branding and maximizing websites to leadership.
Local politicians from Florida welcomed us. Multiple speakers, including Sophia Amarosa of GirlBoss and Nasty Girl Netflix and retailer fame, entertained and inspired attendees. Our walking trips in the morning showed us what a beautiful city Jacksonville is, with a very active marina full of dolphins, beautiful palm trees, and wonderful stadiums. The morning walk was also punctuated by delicious smells of coffee from the Maxwell House headquarters!
Our evening receptions at the hotel and the Jacksonville Jaguars Stadium were a great place to get to know women from other chapters. We enjoyed good food, flowing libations, and good dancing. This terrific mix of education and social activity really propelled new ideas and good conversation. It will certainly give us the tools we need to take advantage of our time, which is now! Be sure to consider attending next year's conference, which will be held in Austin, Texas. We look forward to another successful, enjoyable event.
