You could just feel the positive energy in
the room full of powerful women entrepreneurs; women who are
embracing the entrepreneurial spirit. What makes this
event so great is that whatever stages of your business plan
you are in or not in, this conference will inspire you to
reach for the stars and further your plans or launch your
new business. The room was full of very pro-active
women - "It's electric!!"

In The EVENT Of...
I attend the WISE Conference and was very
impressed with the number of women entrepreneurs in the
Greater Syracuse area who came together to learn, network
and be inspired by success stories of their sisters.
Congratulations to all who worked to organize a super event.

Plus Sign & Graphics was born from WISE. This program came at a perfect time in my life when I was exploring more creative options for my professional career. Upon attending my first WISE Conference I learned an enormous amount from various workshops. Additionally, I was extremely inspired to make a go at starting my new sign and graphics business after hearing from the excellent speakers who had been there, done it and SUCCEEDED!
Had I not attended the WISE Conference, I am unsure if I would have ventured taking on starting a new business. But WISE reminded me of the basic principles in business needed for success such as good marketing, branding, the power of networking and having excellent professional advisors.
Anyone considering starting a business must get “WISE” first!

I want to thank you for inviting me to the WISE conference. This is way over due and I apologize. It was my first time going and hearing about WISE. I was so inspired and also more encouraged to start my own business. It will be a couple years yet because I am still attending ITT and I am determined to have a high grade average. Again thank you.

My name is Carmen Houde and I attend ITT Technical Institute in Liverpool, NY, majoring in Computers and Electronics Engineering. I attended this year’s WISE conference and was very impressed by the speakers and everything in general.
I am a future entrepreneur and learned a lot from these fine ladies who spoke. I look forward to next year’s conference and will definitely be attending again.
My thanks goes to all the inspirational women who have mad me believe that owning my own business is in my future.
DREAM > BELIEVE > PURSUE
That phrase is so true. Thank you again,

My first WISE Conference and I am hooked!! My family recently moved up here from NYC, and the WISE Conference was just what I needed to re-energize myself and realize that I am not alone.

I wanted to e-mail you on a job well done, being that this was my very first time attending this seminar.
I’ve had a business for seven (7) years, and after the
conference, I learned a lot more of the business world.
Since the conference, I haven’t stopped talking about it to my friends and family, and it was a pleasure to be in such an atmosphere of high spirited women and the power and strength that they all talked about of their very own experiences.
Again, thank you for all the work that was put into this great pleasurable day, and I was never so enthusiastic about my business and the things that I learned and how to make changes for a better future for myself.

Thank you again for the opportunity to work with you at the WISE conference yesterday. I truly appreciated the professional manner in which you kept everyone informed as to times & places involved with working on this great conference.
The conference was fantastic, I was truly impressed with the caliber of speakers and the fabulous information passed on by them.
The networking with other women in the CNY business community was great.
Thanks for all your hard work of WISE.

I wanted to let you know that I thought yesterday’s event was fantastic. You did such a great job, and from a participant’s standpoint, it appeared effortless (which I’m sure it was not!). Congrats to you and the staff there!
