2nd Annual Minority Women's Business Conference

On Friday, September 6, 2019 the California Asian Pacific Chamber of Commerce (CalAsian Chamber) in partnership with the National Asian/Pacific Islander American Chamber of Commerce and Entrepreneurship (National ACE) will host our 2nd Minority Women’s Business Conference in San Jose, CA. We aim to bring together 250 minority women business owners, elected leaders, community and non-profit leaders throughout the State of California. You can see photos of last year's event here.   First and foremost, the CalAsian Chamber would love for you and your team to attend. This event highlights the ways minority women have overcome adversity and succeeded in businesses, and it would  be an excellent Silicon Valley networking opportunity for both staff and students. We are extending complimentary tickets to the event to your organization. But we are also on a mission to connect with as many minority women as possible and provide a network of tools and resources for them within the Bay Area. Would you be open to extending this invitation along to your network? We would be happy to extend our member pricing to your clients and members.
