Women in Ecommerce believes that every woman should have the opportunity to live the life of your dreams, to expand your horizons and touch the lives of others – to make a difference. The goal of the Women of Wisdom® Conference is to bring together women from around the globe who have similar goals and aspirations.
We believe every woman in business for herself or working for a successful company wants to leave her mark, to make a difference in the lives she touches. Our goal is to help women achieve those dreams, to see them come to life. That’s why we created The Women of Wisdom® Global Leadership Conference for Women. Our mission is to Inspire, Impart Wisdom, Build Trust, Make an Impact, and Connect Women Globally. We are bringing in dynamic women speakers (and a few good men); leaders in their business, their industries and their communities. These women (and men) have goals that align with ours; to leave a legacy that lasts long after the conference is over. In addition to world-class speakers, we are planning a few surprises. We will honor women with our annual Golden Mouse Award, create several opportunities for women to connect one-on-one with each other as well as showcase one of the most beautiful destinations on earth. Portugal.
Join us in Lisboa, Portugal – The Cultural Capital of Europe from March 6-9, 2016 for a life altering experience. You will be glad you did!
