Annually, hundreds of professional women participate in the largest, longest running full-day conference for women in Connecticut. Every aspect of the day, from the keynote speakers to the conference giveaways, is vetted by the Forum’s Board of Directors: a dedicated group of businesswomen that represent a variety of industries.

When you join us, you’ll enjoy professional sessions from dynamic speakers and trainers, fun and easy ways to engage with fellow attendees, and the opportunity to win fabulous giveaways. Hear about the amazing young women receiving this year’s Business Women’s Forum Jaci Carroll Scholarships, and discover how the BWF is supporting our future business leaders.

Our attendees are what make the Business Women’s Forum amazing. We encourage you to explore the options, engage with our social media platforms and participate in a conference that will excite you and help you grow personally and professionally. Become a part of this community and discover what happens when a group of women come together to inspire, support and connect with each other.

What Attendees Say

Sue, Republican American

Especially after every event, I find myself implementing strategies that I took away to develop better leadership and management skills and focus on creating positive workplaces.

Kathleen, Oppenheimer

It was intimate. The Forum always has amazing speakers, but this year it felt like they were speaking to me directly.

Heather, The Village at East Farms

It was just the right length, with the right combination of keynote speakers and workshops. Giveaways were great too!
