The W.T.F. Expo is designed to provide a "one stop shop" for women in business. You can expect multiple resources to assist you in all phases of life and business - funding, marketing, personal development, and partnership building. You can also expect to meet women who have been down the road you're going who are more than willing to assist. Finally, you can expect to leave the event with tangible tools that can be executed right away to begin the next phase of your business.

​

ALL OF THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED IN A FUN, SAFE,

AND ENCOURAGING ENVIRONMENT!

PRODUCED BY ERIKA GILCHRIST

"My passion for creating this expo stems from my lack of resources while building my business for 20 years. I decided to be the person I wish I had when I was trying to thrive. Nobody should have to build their passion alone. I'm determined to lay resources at the feet of women that were otherwise hidden."
