Other workshops deal with social networking and how parents can guide and protect their children, dealing with wrinkles, making a career change or finding a new job and much more.

Each year, more than 1,200 women attend this totally free event that includes a complimentary continental breakfast and box lunch, a goodie bag and more than 60 workshops and over 100 exhibitors and vendors plus door prizes.
