The Women of Color Connecting Summit & Celebration is not just for Women of Color. It is an annual convening that brings together like-minded people who value diversity and inclusion to gain insights about the unique challenges that Women of Color entrepreneurs face. WOCCON provides a safe space for meaningful discussion about solutions and a fertile environment for seeding authentic relationships. We come together to listen, learn, and take action. We invite you to join us in this movement to #ChangeBusinessAsUsual. The day culminates with a benefit celebration to recognize agents of change who have been intentional and unequivocal in their actions to make a difference for Women of Color Entrepreneurs — #InclusionMustBeIntentional.
