GET CONNECTED 08 – POST CONFERENCE REPORT

Friday October 31st 2008
Venue: Merrill Lynch Financial Centre,Central London

WEConnect – the leading UK supplier diversity initiative spearheading the connection of women-owned business and multinational corporations – held its first well attended conference hosted by Merrill Lynch at the end of October 2008. Over 130 people attended from within the corporate world, women business owners, government representatives amongst others. The workshops were all fully booked and feedback so far has been very positive.

Testemonials so far include:-

“Congratulations on co-ordinating the most fantastic conference yesterday. I came away inspired, energised and ready to kick the door down with my best karate kick. I met so many fantastic business women and men who were wanting to get out there. There is so much doom and gloom when reading the papers, but this was refreshingly absent from the day.”

“Just a quick note to say thank you so much for a wonderful day yesterday, it was totally inspiring!
With very powerful speakers and fabulous networking, I made many connections.
And I hope to join as a registered woman-led business asap.”

“I just wanted to say a huge thank you and well done for organising the event – it ran seamlessly which is not easy to achieve and is purely down to a lot of hard work and attention to detail!”

“I can honestly say it was one of the best events of this type that I have ever been to – very well run, and very well structured.”
