2018 is the year that business women from around Swindon and Wiltshire come together to celebrate innovation and creativity in their businesses.

Local business support organisation The Enterprise Network (TEN) has announced the theme for this year’s Swindon and Wiltshire Women in Business Conference, focusing on business success, innovation and creativity.

Taking place on International Women’s Day – Thursday 8 March – at Bowood Hotel and Spa Resort, the conference will bring together business leaders and entrepreneurs from across the county to take part in a day of inspiration and information.

Early Bird tickets for the event – including guest speakers, workshops, business advice sessions and plenty of networking opportunities - have just gone on sale through the Eventbrite online booking platform.

Opening the day will be Chuck Berry, cabinet member for economic development and housing, who will set the scene, emphasising the importance of women in business to Wiltshire’s thriving small business landscape.

He said: “Small businesses across Wiltshire are a cornerstone of the county’s economy - the energy and creativity of our business women is something we can all be proud of.”

Throughout the day there will be workshops on a wide range of business themes including social media and online marketing, successful business finance, creative thinking, taking on new employees, resilience and crowdfunding.

Guest speakers from some of Wiltshire’s most successful and creative small businesses will be sharing their insights and top tips for business growth.

It’s a chance to share and to be inspired, with a fantastic line-up of speakers and specialist advisors.
