Women Entrepreneurs Symposium 
Keynote by Mayor Annise Parker

Owning your own small business, though a rewarding experience, is a constant challenge filled with many obstacles and a feeling of loneliness.  

Join us FOR THE WIN for a full day of motivational speaking and interactive sessions designed to launch and grow scalable women owned businesses in Houston. 

FOR THE WIN, the first and one of a kind full day symposium, will provide a platform for powerful and engaging speakers to help develop future business owners and impact our economy.

With a goal to equip more than 200 women with mentoring, financial literacy, access to funding and high level business owners, FOR THE WIN delivers a successful road map to business growth and success.
