The Dates…

Mark your calendar and plan to join us in person: Sunday, October 9 through Tuesday, October 11, 2022 (Sunday is NAWBO’s Annual Membership Meeting followed by the two-day National conference on Monday and Tuesday).

The Theme…

Every entrepreneurial journey starts with a dream. To create something new, better or more meaningful. To be your own boss and leader. To enjoy a more flexible lifestyle. To leave a legacy for the next generation. To give back to a community. To change the world in positive ways. Whatever your dream as a woman business owner, NAWBO is here to power it by delivering a uniquely fun and impactful experience infused with connectivity, inspiration, learning, resources and more. “Power Your Dream” returns as this year’s theme.

The Location…

With its Midwestern sensibilities and southern hospitality, Louisville, Kentucky, is the regional economic hub and cultural and artistic heart of 24 surrounding counties in Kentucky and Southern Indiana. It’s also a strategic location for thousands of companies, including UPS Worldport, Ford Motor Corporation, GE and Humana, to name a few. The city is also home to the Kentucky Derby and the world’s great bourbons. In fact, Louisville’s reputation as a hub of innovation for food and bourbon has earned it accolades from far and wide, including Zagat, which named Louisville as a top foodie destination in the world.
