Highly Empowered Women Conference - Moving Forward In Spite of the Economy

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Her Startup holds its "Highly Empowered Women Conference" September 25 - 26 in University City. Approximately 100 women business owners and female entrepreneurs are expected to attend, in addition to a virtual audience. Her Startup founder, Khrys Vaughan, believes this is as good of time as any to launch a business. "We need to have heart and take courage. Yes times are difficult, but these are the perfect conditions to challenge oneself. Today's entrepreneurs are challenged to be even more creative, flexible, and cost efficient. Yet these are the same factors contributing to the success of any organization, at any time. If you can meet the challenge when times are lean, imagine how more profitable your company will be when more prosperous times return."

Dr. Sharon Hadary, founder and former Executive Director of the Center for Business Women's Research, will deliver the keynote. Other speakers include Norma Boozer, National City Bank Vice President, Cathy Sexton of On Point Solutions, Patty Cook of Life by Design, and Darlene Willman, 'The Sassy Networker'. Topics during the two-day conference will be equally diverse ranging from Women and Leadership, Transforming Stress into Success, Relationship Marketing, More Than the Bottom Line, and others.

"Travel is just not possible for some so we are happy to offer a solution allowing women to attend from their laptops." Women residing outside Missouri and Illinois can attend virtually for $39.95, and view the conference from their own home or office. "Not only will we be able to interact with women in different locations, but provide sponsors with additional exposure." Sponsors to date include Pink Magazine, PR Newswire, W2W Link and Enterprising Women.

Deadline for registration is September 19th. Tickets are $55; $65 after September 1st. Sponsorships and advertising options available. Visit www.HerStartup.com to register and for conference itinerary.
