Why events for business owning mums are important?

In the bustling world of business, networking events, conferences, and professional development opportunities often overlook the unique challenges faced by business-owning mums. Enter Be MPowered, a groundbreaking conference designed to bridge this gap and empower mums in business.

The Genesis of Be MPowered

Be MPowered was born out of a necessity to create a family-friendly environment where business-owning mums could thrive. As Co-Founder Carrie Kwan and Olivia Whiting, Marketing Manager of Mums & Co shared in an interview on Mumbition The Podcast recently, the idea stemmed from their personal experiences. Both were juggling the demands of motherhood with their professional aspirations. Traditional networking events, often scheduled during inconvenient times like early mornings or late evenings, simply didn’t fit into their busy lives.

“We needed to create a family-friendly event in an area where you could bring your child,” Olivia explained. This led to the inception of meet-ups where mums could bring their kids along, fostering a supportive community.

The Evolution of Be MPowered

The first major event, held in 2017, featured a panel discussion with leading women in business, including Kristy Chong from Modi Body. The event was a success, complete with an onsite crèche to ensure children were well cared for while mums engaged in meaningful networking and learning.

The following year, the event scaled up significantly, moving to the International Convention Centre. This expansion marked the official birth of Be MPowered, a conference that not only provided valuable content and networking opportunities but also included amenities like professional headshots, kids’ entertainment, and sessions scheduled during school hours to accommodate the drop-off and pick-up juggle.

Why Be MPowered Matters

Be MPowered is more than just a conference; it’s a movement. It acknowledges the unique challenges faced by business-owning mums and provides a platform where they can connect, learn, and grow without compromising their family responsibilities.
