Women Investing in Women 2018 | Fund Conference | 24 October 2018 | Polsinelli , Lower Level Amenity Center, 150 N. Riverside Plaza Chicago, IL 60654 US

We here at FUND Conference believe it's our duty and extreme privilege to promote each other and support investment in women-owned companies. In order to do this, we're launching FUND's 2nd Women Investing in Women event to discuss, support, and move the needle together.

The purpose of the day is to create relationships to solve problems and generate deal flow for women-owned companies and the investors, service providers and communities who support them.

The event will provide keynotes, fireside discussions, and panels focused on the state of diverse investments along with a working lunch to match attendees with the resources they need to grow their business.
