WEWmke 2023
May 8 – 12, 2023
Celebrating and Supporting Milwaukee’s Entrepreneurs
Women’s Entrepreneurship Week’s (WEWmke) history is a tribute to its mission. The organization has been run by passionate, dedicated women since its inception in 2017, starting with a series of events at Ward4 MKE. In 2019, a trio of women expanded the programming citywide and engaged about 2,700 people. After the pandemic forced WEWmke online in 2020, Andi Sciacca assumed leadership in 2021 and added a global connection to WEWmke, the Global Entrepreneurship Network. These women have designed WEWmke with their own imprint and spark, but always with a focus on lifting up women entrepreneurs.
Now WEWmke joins forces with She Stands Tall®, another organization that’s been living the WEWmke mission—spotlighting women who run businesses for five-plus years. The women of She Stands Tall® are honored to receive the WEWmke torch and commit to keeping it lit and burning brightly!
WEWmke’s Mission
WEWmke’s mission is to bring together Milwaukee area women–entrepreneurs, founders, small business owners, professionals, and more–for a week of events designed to inspire, educate, and celebrate our businesses, ourselves, and our contributions to the Milwaukee community.
WEWmke 2023
WEWmke 2023 will be a return to in-person and Milwaukee-focused events for women entrepreneurs, their teams, fans, and communities.
