See flyer below for information about the Canton SBDC’s 4th Annual Women’s Business Bootcamp to be held on March 4, 2010.
As in years past, a Women’s Resource Expo will be held in conjunction with the conference. Availability of display tables in this year’s expo is limited since we have moved it to a smaller venue. So if you’re interested in reserving you’ll want to act soon!
Six-foot display tables will be provided and this year’s expo will include wireless internet access. The conference will feature two breaks during the day when attendees can browse the expo displays. In addition, there will be a half-hour reception at the conclusion of the conference to allow more time for visiting the expo and for networking.
Included in the expo fee is the opportunity to enjoy lunch with the conference attendees and listen to the keynote speaker of the day. (Information is also provided on the attached flyer if you are interested in attending the full conference program.)
We hope you’ll take advantage of this opportunity to network your organization to the women entrepreneurs of St. Lawrence County.

There are 9.1 million women-owned businesses in the U.S. Collectively, they employ 27.5 million people and contribute $3.6 trillion to the economy.
