This year's Wyoming Women's Expo is coming up soon, and it has a brand new format this year!

It's two full days (Friday & Saturday, September 20 & 21) of speakers, education and learning opportunities, vendors and of course Girl's Night Out!

This year, the event kicks off with the Wyoming Women of Influence Awards, presented by the Wyoming Business Report. This event honors Wyoming women for their accomplishments and leadership in fifteen categories. The awards will be presented at a banquet at the Casper Events Center on Thursday, September 19 from 6-8:30 pm. You can purchase tickets for the banquet here.

Friday, September 20 Professional Development Day 8:15 am-3:55 pm

This year's professional development day is so much more than speakers. There are several opportunities built into the day to network with those around you as well as keynote speaker Marilyn Kite, vibrant discussions, and panel presentations. It's an interactive day that will focus on taking an in-depth look at Wyoming's past, present and future.

Friday, September 20 Girls Night Out 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm Comedian 9:00 pm 

Girls Night Out is a chance for attendees to relax and enjoy the company of like-minded women. There will be hors d’oeuvres, sample specialty cocktails, a chance shop at the many and varied vendor booths (4 pm - 9 pm), and then have a big laugh at the featured comedian performance. This year's comedian is Jessi Campbell.

Saturday, September 21 Saturday Seminars 9:00 am-3:00 pm

This is one of the changes to this year's expo that they are very excited about. It was expressed that many women wanted to attend the professional development day but were unable to take the time off work. Wyoming Women's Expo has scheduled a day of talks on Saturday to better meet the needs of their attendees. This group of seminars has been specially curated to cover a wide variety of topics from mental and physical health to social media tips and tricks. I think you'll definitely find something to interest you.
