More than 60 women-owned businesses gathered in Rochester for the Ultimate Women Entrepreneurs’ Expo, which featured networking, panel discussions and live performances.
Organizers said the event was designed to empower women entrepreneurs while creating new opportunities for collaboration across businesses at different stages of growth.
Kelly Breuer of Rochester Women Online Magazine said the expo helps build a community where newer small businesses can learn from established and multimillion-dollar women-led companies.
