December 5, 2018, Milwaukee, Wis. – Milwaukee Women’s Entrepreneurship Week will return for a third year on March 4-8, 2019. Last year, the week brought over 400 female entrepreneurs and professionals from around Milwaukee to a series of female-led events, and the 2019 initiative is expected to grow substantially.
Despite our Midwestern location (which many people from other regions call a fly-over area), Milwaukee has a lot to offer. The warmer months bring festivals like Summerfest, Bastille Days and Germanfest, to name a few. With ice skating at Red Arrow Park, cheering on the Bucks and the polar bear plunge in the winter, we don’t let the snow stop us! But those are social things— what does Milwaukee have to offer in the professional realm? A strong startup ecosystem and solid corporate innovation within the area, to name a couple of things. And the coworking spaces in the area help our busy entrepreneurs thrive.
Coworking spaces aren’t a new concept to Milwaukee, in fact there are multiple locations in and around the city of Milwaukee that entrepreneurs can choose from when finding a home for their new business—with WorkLofts being one of the latest to join this awesome list of establishments. As as a developer of WorkLofts, Sean Phelan says the space “has brought me into contact with smart, creative people. It has increased my exposure to them and that has been cool.” When asked why he loves coworking spaces, Sean comments that it’s “an alternative to traditional office space and affords flexibility for changing needs as people grow their business.”
