Alberta Women Entrepreneurs is pleased to share an opportunity to help you enter and expand into international markets.

The Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) National Conference and Business Fair is being held in Baltimore, MD on in June 25 – 27, 2019. If you’re looking to grow your revenue through international markets, then we invite you to join the Business Women in International Trade (BWIT) delegation.

What is the WBENC National Conference and Business Fair?

This event is the largest conference of its kind in North America with corporate and government buyers connecting with women business leaders from over 18 countries. Attendees will enjoy tailored Canadian programming and three days of speakers, executive workshops, matchmaking and networking opportunities, including the WBENC Business Fair– the largest of its kind with more than 300 exhibitors and procurement specialists.

This program is ideal if you:   

  • want to grow your business via export

  • have interest in or already have experience selling business to business

  • have the capacity to manufacture or deliver products or services in larger volumes

How much does it cost?

The Early Bird rates for the full conference for a small business owner (not WBENC-certified) is $799.

There are grant opportunities to help cover travel and conference fees. Please connect with AWE before registering to learn more.

Why should I go with AWE and Business Women in International Trade (BWIT)?

You could attend the conference on your own, but when you attend with AWE and the Canadian delegation, you’ll receive additional support and guidance.

By joining our delegation you can:

  • Tap into AWE’s knowledge and expertise of international markets

  • Identify the right opportunities for you and your business

  • Access personalized advice and support

When you are in unfamiliar territory, sometimes you need a tour guide. Our team has a wealth of experience and information on how to build strong connections and how to do business in the U.S. supplier diversity market.

We’ll start with a pre-conference meeting to get clear on your goals. Then at the event we’ll assist you to determine where to spend your time, and which activities are the most valuable.

Going alone to this massive conference can be very overwhelming, but we’ll be there every step of the way to make sure it’s productive and a valuable investment of your time.

Please let us know if you’re interested in learning more about the opportunity!
