THE CONFERENCE GOALS
1. INCREASING THE VALUE OF WOMEN OWNED BUSINESSES
-
According to the 2018 State of the Women Owned Business Report, four out of every 10 businesses (40%) in the United States are now women-owned. However, 88% or 10,775,600 of those firms make less than $100,000 a year. The Unconventional Conference expects 60% of enrolled participants who own their own business to increase their value as measured by revenue and number of employees.
2. BUILDING SUSTAINABILITY FOR WOMEN OWNED BUSINESSES
-
Businesses owned by men have a 75.1 percent three-year survival rate, compared to 69.5 percent for women-owned companies. Women are increasingly harnessing their entrepreneurial spirit and starting businesses however their revenue is not equal to their male counterparts or their chances of survival. The Unconventional Conference will track the enrolled participants and include the results of their sustainability in the Arizona Women`s Economic Vitality Report.
