On Thursday of next week, November 21, representatives of the local creative community will gather at the Pegasus Hotel for the media launch of the Fifth Edition of the Women in Business Expo, an event that affords glimpses into the pursuits of a mix of some of the country’s emerging talents and other kindred spirits that have already made a mark for themselves.
The event itself will be held at the same venue on March 21 and 22, 2020.
With Guyanese women beginning to carve out a notable niche in business across several sectors, host of the event and local fashion icon Sonia Noel told Stabroek Business during an interview earlier this week that as is customary the event is expected to open new entrepreneurial vistas for women across the sectors. Noel’s Foundation for the Creative Arts is providing the stage for the event usually staged to mark International Women’s Day. While she says the event seeks, critically, to shine a spotlight on new talent among women across the sectors, it seeks as well to open up potentially lucrative entrepreneurial opportunities that can be created through collaboration amongst the women who will be participating in the event.
