It's all about connection, growth and inspiration," said Worcester Regional Chamber of Commerce event coordinator Stefanie Silva. "It is such a popular event here, not only for Worcester but for Central Massachusetts. We have women from all over coming to see our keynote speakers, network and engage in different types of workshops."

More than 600 women attended today's event. The keynote speakers were authors Luvvie Ajayi Jones and Claire Wasserman.
