The half day event, from 8:30am-2pm, held at the brand new Hyatt Atlanta Perimeter at Villa Christina, gives high powered women business leaders the chance to network with other ambitious women and learn what it takes to run a business and thrive, even in one of the toughest industries. Statistics show women are more likely to become a CEO than a head chef. Only 6.3% of head chef positions belong to women according to Bloomberg.

Networking and a continental breakfast beginning at 8:30am, will be followed by a keynote from Cinnabon President, Kat Cole, who will share her entrepreneurial success story – rising up the ranks in the food service industry from her start as a Hooter’s hostess.
