Contempo is proud to present the 8th annual Female Entrepreneur Summit—where Cleveland’s female entrepreneurs meet to connect, learn and grow. More than 350 attendees will gather to share knowledge, resources and inspiring stories of success at an event tailored specifically to the unique needs of female business owners. The all-day event offers dynamic speakers, personal testimonials, relevant educational sessions and plenty of networking opportunities.

“As a first time sponsor of FES we found the content relevant, with a tremendous audience attendance and participation. There were a great mix of entrepreneurs from different industries, backgrounds and stages in their careers, and that was refreshing and inspiring to hear from them. Key4Women will be back in 2019 as a “key” sponsor with an awards recognition portion and perhaps some charitable contributions as well!” — Barbara J. Smith, Senior Vice President and Director Key4Women at KeyBank

“I felt that this year surpassed all previous years. I was able to take away a golden nugget of information from each speaker and panel. I was extremely impressed with the speakers chosen for this year’s summit. ” — Melissa Gerbick, Manager, Center for Entrepreneurship and Business Innovation, Kent State University, College of Business Administration
