Women & Business Conference 2016

We would like to thank everyone for their generous support of this year's conference.  We are honored to say we have SOLD OUT of tickets to the ATHENA Awards Luncheon.  If you have questions about your registration, please email tmchugh@slchamber.com.


The Salt Lake Chamber Women's Business Center's American Express Women & Business Conference and Wells Fargo ATHENA Awards Luncheon is the primary fundraiser for the Women's Business Center. A full day of informative breakout sessions and inspirational speakers that recognize the accomplishments of those helping make a difference here in our local community.

The ATHENA Award is a prestigious national award presented to an active member of the Salt Lake Chamber who demonstrates excellence, creativity and initiative in business. They must also provide valuable service by devoting time and energy to improve the quality of life for others in the community and assist women in reaching their full leadership potential.

 
In addition to the Athena Award, five other women will receive the Pathfinder Award. This award is given to community leaders who "create new paths" and promote the development and recognition of women in business.
 
All proceeds will benefit the Salt Lake Chamber Women's Business Center.
 
Join us as we celebrate extraordinary leaders in Utah's Business Community at one of the nation's longest running women's conferences.
