2025 Women in Networking

SD CEO West

Welcome to Women In Networking

We are your support network!

Women In Networking (WIN) is a networking & training event for women in South Dakota that provides opportunities to promote your business, organization, or event. 

Entrepreneurs, aspiring entrepreneurs, business owners, students, intrapreneurs - those who work for a company, municipality, higher ed or nonprofit - all are welcome.

We focus on helping each other grow personally and professionally while networking with other women in the Northern Hills, Rapid City, and Chamberlain-Oacoma.

If you are interested in attending one of our Women in Networking events, here is what you can expect:

  • 30 Second Networking - Everyone has a chance to share their name, some information about themselves or their business, and promote something they really care about.

  • Lunch or Breakfast - Catered in and tailored to your dietary preferences if needed.

  • Presentation - Every WIN enjoys a 10-15 minute educational speaker to help improve your personal and professional life.

  • Close & Doorprizes - Bring a doorprize to help promote your business. This is optional and you are always welcome to enter for the drawings.

We also host special WIN Coffee & Conversation events throughout the year. You can see upcoming WIN events below.
