For the second year running, the SMART Women Project are holding their pioneering conference, where an astonishing programme, featuring the South West’s finest experts in the fields of women’s enterprise, will meet at Tremough, June 23, for this inspiring one day event.
The SMART Women Conference is the largest of its kind in the county, bringing together over 200 women to network, learn, grow and have fun. Delegates can enjoy opportunities for networking, sharing ideas and meeting exhibitors, who can provide the essentials for being a huge success.
The Keynote Speaker this year is Dr Glenda Stone, previous European Businesswoman of the Year, founder and CEO of the 30,000 strong Aurora Businesswomen’s Network and Co-chair of the Government’s Women’s Enterprise Taskforce. Glenda has won numerous business awards and is regularly cited in the media regarding her views on women and work related issues. A straight-talking Australian, she says her top priority at the Conference is to convince more women to be ambitious, take risks and expand their businesses.
The event brings together over thirty unique and engaging seminar speakers, sharing their experience and offering practical advice.

Jennifer Atherton, SMART Women Project Manager said, “We are delighted to receive such confident support for the second year running from both our speakers and main sponsor Business Link. It is vital to recognise the important contribution that women make to Cornwall’s economy, through events such as these. We want all of the delegates to leave the conference with the tools, inspiration and motivation to make positive developments in their careers.”
