“Think Big!” is a research and  public education program designed to encourage women and the business community to think big about women owned businesses.

In June 2007, WEC held the second annual Think Big! conference, "The Growth Toolkit" which was attended by over 60 women entrepreneurs on Juen 8th, 2007. For an outline of the WEC conference and program, please click here.  To access notes from the conference workshops, please click here.

Built on the success of our 2006, "Think Big! Creating Sustainable Growth" conference program at University of Toronto's Rotman School of Management, and the "Toolkit for Growth" conference at the Mars Discovery District in 2007, WEC is expanding Think Big!  to include research, peer generated content, formal public education programs and special events within the women's business community to focus
focus on driving growth of women owned business.

Our goals are to:

• Encourage women business owners to think big about growth and expansion, from start up stages onwards.
• Influence multiple stakeholders within the public and private business community to hire women owned businesses, create best practices to support their growth, and provide products and services suited to their needs.
• Provide women with easy access to the resources and support they need to make informed business decisions around growth and expansion

The Think Big! Program components will include:
