weVENTURE Women's Business Center in the Florida Tech Bisk College of Business strives to be the leading resource for professional women on the Space and Treasure Coasts. Each year, weVENTURE WBC hosts a leadership development conference, the IMPACT Summit, as an opportunity for individuals to invest time in personal and professional development.
This half-day in-person conference creates space to network, to be inspired, and to learn tangible techniques that can be applied to your work and personal life. This is our largest in-person training event of the year, and a great opportunity for new clients or those unfamiliar with the weVENTURE WBC network to get connected. And yes, men are invited too! About 20% of weVENTURE WBC clients are men or family partnerships, and we value the opportunity to connect and support our male colleagues!
