ORLANDO, Fla., March 13, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Women businesses owners comprise one of the fastest growing segments of new business formation in the country, and Central Florida is full of dynamic businesses that are owned, run and managed by women. The National Entrepreneur Center (NEC), in partnership with the Orlando Chapter of the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO), and SCORE have scheduled Women's Business Conference entitled "It's All About The Climb." The event will feature an entire afternoon of business training and activities on Thursday, March 28th beginning at 1pm and concluding with a networking session at 5pm.
