3,000 women headed to the Fresno Convention Center Tuesday morning for a day dedicated to celebrating their accomplishments and striving toward new goals.
"There's a lot of classes that I'm interested in," said first-timer Raesanae Smith, "I don't think I'm going to be able to go to all of them, but I just want to learn as much as I can."
Veteran conference attendees and first-timers were all equally excited to take advantage of the many exhibits and conference sessions.
"It's wonderful to come here and see all these amazing women come together in a positive light," added Bares.

Lectures focused on everything from relationships, to career goals and personal growth.
"It's one day when we all get to stop, pause and take a day for ourselves," said Speaker Erin Melkonian. "Take some free time for ourselves, get together with a bunch of women, some men too, and encourage and support each other."
