Roundtable Lunches for Female Entrepreneurs at Soiree Philadelphia – Small Business Solutions

Soiree Philadelphia is proud to host a series of Roundtable Lunches for female entrepreneurs, hosted by Laura Eaton.

Female Entrepreneuers small business round table expert

These roundtables bring together women from various fields to brainstorm and collaborate to find solutions to the unique challenges we face.  Soiree Roundtables allow you to connect with different women to gain a new perspective, new insights and valuable feedback.

Being an entrepreneur often means you are doing it all – and sometimes doing it all on your own!  These roundtables give you a forum to float new ideas, pose those tricky questions or just get a fresh set of eyes to see a solution that might be much simpler than you think.

From previous attendees…

“I found Laura’s roundtable series to be a great way to kick start my new year. It was just the motivation I needed to move forward with some unfinished projects.”
Wanda Thomas
MadCris Images Studio Owner

“The roundtable is a fantastic opportunity to meet like-minded entrepreneurial women who are a source of inspiration, advice, and support.  We come together to exchange ideas, and help one another through lively discussion.”
Sara Teixeira
The Tailory

“It was a great afternoon of networking and brainstorming in an intimate environment.”
Pamela Horowitz 
Provence Catering

“I enjoyed the Roundtable at Soiree! Everyone was candid with information and their experiences. I have already implemented some things mentioned!”
Marcia V. Williams, CEO/Founder
Embellish Beauty Concepts, LLC

You will also leave with valuable information from Laura on optimizing your website and getting the most you can out of your connections and social media.  You will leave feeling energized, with a list of actionable tasks to take your business to the next level.

Our April 16th event is sold out, but tickets are currently available for April 30th.  We keep these to just 5-6 attendees to ensure that everyone gets equal time.  Catering is provided by Drexelbrook Catering – please let us know in advance if you have any special dietary concerns or needs, we will be happy to accommodate.

Feel free to email Laura directly with any questions:  SoireePhiladelphia@gmail.com
