Business Women's Forum Goes Virtual

For the past 37 years, the Business Women’s Forum has inspired and educated women from across Connecticut through an energizing day of expert speakers, engaging networking opportunities, and informative workshops. On October 14th, the BWF team will present the Forum’s first-ever Virtual Conference for women across the state and beyond to deliver digitally the high-quality experience attendees have come to expect.

The Forum’s 2020 Keynote speaker will be award-winning actress and TV host Valerie Bertinelli, who will join attendees on-screen. An adored Golden Globe award-winning actress and best-selling author, Bertinelli’s long and celebrated career has expanded to include equally beloved spokesperson, Emmy Award-winning host, business entrepreneur and New York Times best-selling author. Her most recent cookbooks include best-sellers “One Dish At A Time” and “Valerie’s Home Cooking.”

In addition to the keynote session with Bertinelli, the BWF will feature sessions with eSpeakers Certified Virtual Presenter and award-winning speaker Amanda Gore, as well as professional trainers Debbie Fay of Bespeak Presentation Solutions and Cindy Maher and Jamie Guite of Leading Edge Coaches.

The virtual format of the conference will include several ways for attendees to connect and converse online. Incorporating the energizing and exciting spirit of the typical in-person conference, attendees can still be entered to win great giveaways and prizes!

Pivoting to a digital platform has allowed the Forum to be accessible to a wider audience geographically, and has enabled the BWF to offer this content at extremely affordable prices. The Premier Ticket for the conference gives attendees access to training and networking content for only $49, with an upgraded VIP All-Access Ticket allowing access to additional content, perks, and prize entries for only $99.

As it has always done, the Business Women’s Forum will continue its tradition of supporting young women pursuing a career in business through the distribution of scholarships to Post University. Scholarship recipients will be announced prior to the October 14th event.

The Business Women’s Forum is a program of the Greater Waterbury Chamber of Commerce Foundation, and in 2020 is being presented in conjunction with Presenting Partner Onyx II Fine Jewelers; Premier Partner Drew Marine; Star Partner Post University; Forum Partners Barker Specialty Company, Republican-American and PowerStation Events, and several other sponsors.
