Feedback Don't take it from us! Here's some feedback from attendees of our 2009 event. "I am absolutely thrilled to have won an award. I think it is extremely important to encourage women to realise that they no longer have to choose between having a career and being a great mum I was truly astounded, and very shakily made my way to the front to collect my award. I can't remember what else happened or was said - I was just so gobsmacked to have won." Claire of SnugBaby. Winner of the Best Online Business Award "best part was meeting all the other lovely business mummy entrepreneurs at all stages in their business. Lots of whom I have been tweeting with for a while! It was a very inspirational experience to have met so many other passionate, dedicated and successful women and mothers. Women driven to succeed but not at the expenses of their families" Rebekah of RRVA "I am so proud to be part of such a wonderful network of people. Women, who are doing their utmost to make a better life for their family by whatever means they can, doing it passionately and with love and yet still having the time to support others and offer their advice, support and help" Louisa, DynaGirl "The City Inn, Birmingham, was heaving! The conference was in full swing and the atmosphere was fab. The conference comprised six seminars plus two presentations from renowned business women Tanya Rostron (Water to Work) and Wendy Shand (Tots to Travel). Tanya and Wendy were both truly inspirational and their generous presentations gave loads of practical advice instead of the usual focusing on individual journeys which is often a hallmark of keynote speakers."
