Read what WBEs are saying about the Women In Business 2006 Conference:

Olga M. Ramudo, President & CEO, Express Travel :

WIB 2006 was absolutely a WONDERFUL conference. I have been certified for a little bit more than a year, and this is my first time attending a WBENC conference - I was very much impressed by the high level of attendees. I have numerous contacts to follow up on. Will certainly be there next year!!!! Congratulations on a job well done.....

Danette Gossett, Gossett Marketing:

I found the WIB 2006 conference very exciting. The networking opportunities were endless and the speakers motivational and educational. Even before the conference I had the opportunity to meet with a fellow WBE and encouraged her to attend – she did and was very happy she did! So, I would definitely encourage fellow WBE’s to attend in the future.

This was also my first year as an exhibitor at the Business Fair. I felt that most of the visitors to my booth had a true interest in my business. In addition, I was able to reconnect with some clients I had “misplaced” over the years and anticipate rekindling our business relationships.

Thanks for all your and WBDC’s work in making this conference such a success.

Charlene Sullivan, DataSavers:

This was my first Annual Conference and to say that I was impressed would understate how organized and useful this week long meeting was to all women. The conference shed light on all the possibilities and gives woman a larger crack in opening the door to Corporate America opportunities. Well done.

Rachelle Stone, Advantage Destination & Meeting Services:

Here’s my 2 cents!

As a first time attendee at WIB2006, I was absolutely thrilled with the learning, networking opportunities and new contacts I made! It was a phenomenal conference and I’m already committed to going to WIB2007. This conference is a must-go-to for any WBE looking to grow their business.

Josephine Kling, President, Landry & Kling Meetings at Sea:

All of us at Landry & Kling Meetings At Sea were bowled over with the high-power connections we were able to make at this, our first WBENC conference. We found it exhilarating to meet the diversity contacts at so many global corporations who were happy to identify the appropriate internal contact for the cruise procurement & planning services we offer. The speakers and networking were also top notch. This conference far exceeded our expectations, especially compared to our other outreach opportunities, and I'd heartily recommend that other members take advantage of all that it offers. -- Sincerely, Jo Kling

Margarita Gonzalez, President, AccuBANKER:

I am delighted to have had the opportunity to participate in the recently concluded WIB 2006 Conference held at the Loews Hotel in Miami Beach.

Besides winning a beautiful bracelet and making new friends, this event provided me with very powerful tools to take our business to the next level. Saying that WBENC opens the doors for you to the corporate world will be an understatement. This organization not only open the doors for you but also walks you through the doors, all the while it educates and empowers its certified members.
As a certified member of its Florida Regional Affiliate, WBDC, I am very grateful to Nancy Allen and her team for their continuous support and encouragement. Any needs or questions that I had were immediately addressed by them on an extremely professional way. They were great!
If someone asks me if I have any regrets, I will answer: Yes, I am very sorry I did not join the organization before.

Jennifer Sloane, President, Privacy Strips, LLC:

I would highly recommend WBENC's annual Women In Business conference to anyone looking to tap into the vast opportunities that are available to WBENC certified businesses. Our WBENC certified business attended
WIB2006 in Miami as an exhibitor and the response we received from the conference attendees to our new product was absolutely amazing! WIB2006 not only provided our company with the opportunity to launch our new product on a national level, but our company also made key contacts with several of the large retailers - a priceless opportunity!
