Emerge Events to host Summit for Pine Belt Businesswomen

Emerge Events is all set to host the second annual Pine Belt Women Business Owner Summit that shall provide Women business owners around Pine Belt to have networking opportunities while connecting with female entrepreneurs, find information and gather resources.

The event shall take place at 906 Sullivan Drive in Hattiesburg’s Pearl River Community College Lowery A. Woodall Advanced Technology Center on August 15 and 16 with the theme “Better Together” for this year.

Emerge Events Owner and Women Business Owners of the Pine Belt’s Cofounder, Jennifer Clark stated, “I am a business owner myself, and I do a lot of events (with being) an event planner. I’ve done a women’s expo for many years, and last year I had the idea to create a small conference-style event for women business owners, because especially post-(COVID-19) pandemic, it’s much harder to run a business than it ever has been.”

She added, “So I’m just passionate about women in business and anyone who’s trying to run a business, so I want to strengthen and pour into women business owners and bring together resources, information and each other. (That way), we can have some time to connect, learn and really grow. I feel like the more we can pour into business owners, the better their businesses can be, and the better our community can be.”
