EVENT RECAP

International
Women’s Day 2025

Celebration, Open market, and Social Hour


“The key to breaking barriers isn’t just resilience, it’s collaboration. When women support women, we all rise.” — Amy Redford


To celebrate International Women’s Day each year, we partner with the Women’s Business Center of Utah to host an inspiring afternoon filled with meaningful conversations and connections and a collective commitment to women’s empowerment.

Our panels featured trailblazing women who are shaping Utah’s business and economic landscape — and making an impact far beyond. They shared candid insights about the challenges and triumphs of leadership, the importance of mentorship (and sponsorship!), and strategies for building inclusive growth. The celebration was a powerful reminder of the strength we find in unity and shared purpose.

Thank you for celebrating with us and helping build a community where women thrive through support, celebration, and empowerment.

About

World Trade Center Utah and the Women’s Business Center of Utah are committed to seeing our state’s women entrepreneurs succeed. By joining forces, we are helping women in business take over the world (in the best possible way, of course)! 

This event brings together entrepreneurs, industry leaders, and advocates who are turning ideas into action and momentum into growth. By working together, we can fuel the success of women-owned businesses, drive innovation, and accelerate progress toward a more inclusive global economy.

The networking bazaar featured artisan crafts and treats from women-owned Utah businesses.

A special shoutout to Kirsten Hirst, former WTC Utah marketing manager, who brought the International Women’s Day Bazaar brand to life and has since launched her own creative business.
