They came, they saw and they conquered — fear, doubt, insecurity and any other obstacle holding them back at work or home.
Attendees at the Women’s SUCCESS Conference came seeking inspiration, information and other fuel to propel them forward — which they found in abundance at the fourth-annual event that kicked off Thursday at the IP Casino Resort.

Several workshop “tracks” on the conference’s opening day accommodated participants with different goals and needs. Entrepreneurs learned how to develop their business plans, become more profitable and market on a budget. Speakers in corporate sessions talked about leadership, negotiation, mentoring and more. Non-profit workshops focused on subjects like funding and development. Attendees needing to re-energize heard expert advice about self-care, empowerment and decision-making, among other subjects.
The conference’s schedule of world-class presenters, informative sessions and other attributes resumes Friday with acknowledgement of the region’s greatest female influencers and speakers that include the Roberts sisters and motivational guru Lisa Nichols.
