Is the EWE for women only?
The EWE is designed for women only; however, men may assist with the exhibitor booths.  The workshops and social cocktail event are open to women only.

Will multiple industries/categories be exhibiting?
The goal of the EWE is to only allow one representative per industry.  This cannot be guaranteed at this time and will be determined by the need to fill exhibitor space.   We do guarantee that only one company will be represented. (i.e. one Mary Kay, one UPS Store, or any other business that offers the exact same product).  This is on a first come, first serve basis.  Do NOT delay in signing up now before it’s too late.  It is our hope that as the expo grows we can guarantee only one representative per industry.  To view our current exhibitor list, click HERE.

Will my competition be exhibiting?
It is possible your competition could be exhibiting.  But, what everyone needs to keep in mind is that although you offer the same product, you don’t necessarily offer the same service…use the EWE to showcase your attributes…it’s not just about the products or services we offer.  There’s so much more to being a woman entrepreneur.  The expo is not about selling one’s wares.  It’s about coming together to support one another, share success stories, maybe unsuccessful stories, laugh, learn, and move forward in our lives and businesses. 
We do guarantee that only one company will be represented. (i.e. one Mary Kay, one UPS Store, or any other business that offers the exact same product)
