Taking place from 8-10 September 2016, at the Ticketpro Dome in Northgate Johannesburg, businesswomen represent 54% of exhibitors that will be brokering relationships with other businesses, investors, entrepreneurs and corporate leaders.
“Women are no longer niche, as consumers, as working professionals and as business leaders and owners. We have been running successful businesses and succeeding in our careers for decades. It is time for the business landscape to evolve and mirror this,” said Carol Weaving, MD at Thebe Reed Exhibitions.
“These events show that women should be mainstream in business. We have strong players in a cross-section of industries and a series of workshops and activities that place women in the centre of the economy. This is going to be an exciting platform,” she concluded.
The expos will feature a series of activities over three days that focus on women in business. The activities include features of success stories of women in business, panel discussions and a number of capacity building workshops and masterclasses run by women for both men and women in business.
