West Palm Beach, Florida (PRWEB) January 21, 2015
The line-up of speakers during the day-long event at the recently renovated Palm Beach Airport Hilton Hotel will be Elaine Larsen, a reigning IHRA world professional drag racing champion, jewelry expert Tracy Sherman and Laura South, marketing and social media specialist for The Merchant Strategy, the West Palm Beach firm presenting this unique conference to help empower women both personally and professionally.
“By the end of the decade, estimates are that women will control two thirds of the consumer wealth in the U.S.,” South said. “The numbers are so big that they almost are incomprehensible with estimates as high a 40 trillion dollars. Our goal is to help prepare women to responsibly manage all their new opportunities.”
