October 21, 2007 Houston, Texas: Women from around the world will be converging on Houston, Texas during the upcoming âFree to be Meâ business convention provided by Women Business Owners (WBO) on October 10-12, 2008.
WBO President, Anna Campbell told us, âOur members from around the world will be coming together to meet at this annual event to share their stories, adventures, pictures, and dreams. We will be building bonds that will launch businesses and maintain those that are on the edge.â The upcoming convention offers attendees hands on seminars and workshops they need to take their business to the next level. Each workshop leader has been hand selected by the board of this 501c3 non profit group.
When asked why WBO is providing this convention for their members and the general public, Campbell responded, âDeciding to be in business is a daunting task and one that proves difficult and too much for some. At this yearsâ convention we will be focusing on learning the tools needed to operate a successful business.â
âOur host hotel this year is the Sheraton North Houston Hotel near Intercontinental Airport and they have provided us with amazing accommodations at affordable ratesâ says group Vice President, Gazelle Simmons with Administrative Services www.admnsrvcs.com.
Convention fees are record low for this type of convention because WBO understands the daily financial strain business owners deal with and wish to encourage participation and advancement for each one with an affordable opportunity to join with others and be educated. Early bird registration is going on now through December 31, 2007 for only $125 covering three packed days of learning, bonding, growing, and building. This includes an attendee bag filled with amazing goodies, Friday Reception and Opening Ceremonies, Shopping with Featured vendors and sponsors, Breakfast on Saturday and Sunday, 5 Seminars and/or workshops on Saturday, Banquet Dinner on Saturday Night, Church Services and Closing Ceremonies on Sunday. For those only able to attend our Saturday seminars and workshops the fee is as low as $40.
âI would recommend all the members of WBO to attend our convention this year so they can forge a stronger bond with the other members and for non-WBO members so they can get an opportunity to see in person the kind of networking we do online then perhaps want to join us until the next conventionâ says Ms. Simmons.
We asked Simmons why she is attending this yearâs event and she replied, âIt’s a chance to get to meet people who have shared a part in your life and business. To put faces to names and network face to face with hundreds of women in one placeâ. One of the workshop speakers, Kioni Carter with Tru Transformation Coaching www.butterflyqueen.com commented, âI would recommend this conference to any woman who owns a business, dreams of owning a business, or simply dreams of owning herself. The inherent power of knowledge is a force to be reckoned with. If you are the type of woman who is hungry for change and a bank of wisdom to pack your arsenal with, I would suggest making a sound investment in an event like thisâ.
Ms. Carter wanted to be a part of this conference because she believes in the power of a professional network of like-minded women. We have so much to offer the world, and an event like this will only serve to ignite the greatness we all have embedded within us. Doing this conference will give her the opportunity to be a part of a very special movement that signals the onset of a new age of women who understand themselves and their lives from the inside out, and can apply what they have discovered in their business lives as well… truly powerful achievement.
