Highlights from the 2025 NAWBO WBC

The conference brought together hundreds of powerhouse women entrepreneurs, leaders, and changemakers from across the country all united to connect, grow, and lead boldly. This year held special significance as NAWBO celebrated its 50th Anniversary by returning to where it all began: Washington, D.C.

Across inspiring keynotes, hands-on workshops, and powerful panels, attendees explored strategies to scale their businesses, elevate leadership, and navigate today’s biggest challenges. The sessions sparked fresh ideas, but the true magic happened in between: over shared stories, new partnerships, and the unshakable energy of community.

From Advocacy Day on Capitol Hill to evening receptions and breakout sessions, the experience was more than a conference, it was a celebration of how far we’ve come and the future we’re building together.

To every woman who showed up with purpose and passion, thank you. This was a powerful return to our roots and a launchpad for what’s next.
