Hi BWN Business women,

I just wanted to alert you to the Mothers of Innovation conference taking place on 19 June at Microsoft in Victoria. There are some great speakers and should be some interesting ideas and it struck me that it was something that you might potentially be interested in. There’s a bit of information about it below. If you’d like a comp, do let me know – it would be great to have your input.

best wishes
