Here is your chance to sit with an inspiring women founder and talk with her and two others in an informal setting about her journey and at the same time meet other like-minded founders.
At this new WEN event, you will have the opportunity to book with the founder of your choice. During that time you will introduce your company to the group (max 4 to a table) and then the founder will talk about their journey and lead a discussion on relevant business issues.
We hope the time with these amazing women will inspire you, and the small circle you are sitting with to share your experiences, give each other tips and encouragement along the way.
We have booked tables of 4 at the Envoy restaurant in Central. Each table can order any item they wish during this time together which might include the Envoy's famous tea set. Kindly note participants are subject to the cost of their meal/drinks.
Below is the list of inspiring women who will be participating. Please give your top 3 choices when you register for the event. We will make every effort to confirm your first choice but cannot guarantee. Groups will be on a first come, first served basis.
