EXHIBITOR: 2025 FemPreneur Summit!

The FemPreneur Summit is designed by female entrepreneurs for female entrepreneurs. If you have a product or service that would be of benefit to the attendees of the 2025 FemSum, we welcome you to become an exhibitor in our Summit Marketplace, and participate in this powerful day of relationship- and business-building.

• NEW. Based on exhibitor and participant feedback from the 2024 Summit, we're making changes to the day, including more Marketplace time, and more connection activities during sessions.
• NEW. A plan is being devised to invite community members and local chamber members to participate in our Marketplace for the last hour of the day, increasing the number of people you'll meet at your exhibit, beyond Summit attendees.
• Your Exhibitor investment includes one all-access ticket (event registration, participation in all panels, speakers, intentional networking sessions, and one lunch) and your 8’ table and chair with an optional tablecloth (requested in advance). Additional tickets are $40 and can be purchased through the In-Person Participants page. Click here.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

Due to the generous sponsorship of the 2025 FemSum by Lake Trust Credit Union, no other credit union or bank may be exhibitors. Individuals who work in those organizations may attend the Summit as participants, but the organizations may not secure exhibit space for March 19, 2025.

Please review the list of confirmed 2025 exhibitors below, BEFORE registering as an exhibitor. If you see a business in your category, please do not register as an exhibitor, as we are attempting to keep redundancy to a minimum. You are welcome to attend as a participant instead.

BACKGROUND: While there are several incubators, start-up support organizations, and small business advisers out there, many focus their offerings and services on businesses that plan to build something that can grow exponentially and eventually be sold for a lot of money. However, many female entrepreneurs start businesses with different goals in mind than building an empire. They start their companies so they can have the freedom, flexibility and fulfillment they need while keeping their families as a top priority. The support, mentoring, collaborating and advising that these female entrepreneurs need is much harder to find when they don't fit into the traditional "startup" or "entrepreneur" molds.

That's why the FemPreneur Summit was created!
