Join Us Online July 30 for a Night Showcasing Women Business Owners

Connect with more than 100 other local women – small business owners, aspiring entrepreneurs, and valuable resources. View snapshots of businesses and find out about their websites, talk with other attendees and participants in virtual breakout rooms, and listen to experts on how small businesses can make it through this difficult time – or, for the most benefit, showcase your own business or sponsor the event.

All proceeds directly benefit female entrepreneurs through the Washington Women's Business Center (WWBC) at Business Impact NW.

Celebrating Resiliency and Reimagining Small Business

This year, Washington Women's Business Center is committed to supporting women business owners as they carry on in these uncertain economic times. Due to public health concerns and State regulations, Celebrating Dreams will be a virtual event. We are moving the business Showcase online and will be featuring 50 women-owned businesses on our website July 1-August 31. In the 2 weeks leading up to the live event, we will be hosting webinars on topics to help small businesses recover, reboot, and reimagine success as many of us shelter in place. On July 30 from 6 to 8pm, we will come together in a live virtual event to Celebrate Resiliency and Reimagine Small Business!

Women-Owned Business (WOB) Showcase
- Are you a female business owner? Want to showcase the work that you're doing? Let the community know about your business by putting your products or services on display for an audience committed to supporting you.
- Not a business owner? Mix and mingle with women on top, making it happen, every day!
Support and connect with 30-50 women-owned businesses showcasing their products and services at the event. Network to your heart's content. Be intentional about who and what businesses you choose to support with your future purchases in the community.
Get Inspired: We're providing a platform for women's voices - and actions - to be celebrated. Mingle with entrepreneurs, potential mentors, and WOB business supporters, and gather business resources on-site from community partners and mentors.
Party with a Purpose: Did you need more reasons to come than just supporting local WOB? You got it! All proceeds from the evening directly benefit female entrepreneurs to receive free and low-cost business coaching, classes, and training through the WWBC.

Business Impact NW has decided to postpone Celebrating Dreams due to concerns over public health. Instead of May 28, the event is now scheduled for July 30, 2020 at Metropolist.

We remain dedicated to celebrating women-owned businesses and are continuing to offer resources and our business coaching, classes and lending services virtually in this difficult time. Our website will be kept up to date as events unfold. Please reach out to cdcs@businessimpactnw.org with any questions or concerns.
