The 2nd Annual Women’s Entrepreneurship Day (WED)
Through out January I will be posted events that I didn’t publish on Philly Chit Chat, that most likely were published elsewhere.
Additional photos from WED are published in this months Philly Mag
With 200 of the Philadelphia region’s most high-powered and accomplished women entrepreneurs in attendance, the 2nd Annual Women’s Entrepreneurship Day (WED), a global initiative that has the backing of the UN and Congress and is now presented in 144 countries, was produced by WED Philadelphia Ambassador and Executive Director of the Philadelphia Fashion Incubator, Elissa Bloom.
This year’s theme was The Entrepreneurial Mindset. Building on last year’s theme of Grit and how to overcome external challenges, they explored more deeply our internal challenges and how to create a new mental state for success. The entrepreneurial mindset is a perspective where you will find the focus and persistence to carry on in the face of adversity.

Women’s Entrepreneurship Day (WED) is the world’s largest entrepreneurial and financial empowerment initiative dedicated to celebrating, supporting and empowering women worldwide.
