Welcome to the conference just for YOU!

Join us for an unforgettable day of workshops, talks and networking opportunities at the largest return-to-work conference in the Southeastern US. The Back to Business Women’s Conference is a unique opportunity to kickstart your return to work with a community of supportive women & experts to advise you.

Our theme this year is BE BOLD!  I’m inviting you to be bold about your career plans, your return to work and your plans for your future!
Ladies, we are not playing small anymore! So make this investment in yourself and join us on Friday, September 23 for a day of virtual talks that you will never forget.


This jam-packed 1-day event is designed specifically for women who are restarting their careers after a break. We'll boost your confidence, teach you how to network like a pro and introduce you to local recruiters who know you took a break from your career and love it.



Back to Business was founded in 2015 by Katie Dunn. Katie is a Cary, NC mom of 4 and a career coach who saw an urgent need to connect the many highly qualified women who are returning to the workforce with employers who value their skills and experience.  This is our 6th return-to-work conference and we can't wait to have you join us!

YOU WILL BE INSPIRED
This is a high-energy day-long event packed full of action-oriented talks to set you on your path back to work.

RAVE REVIEWS FOR BACK TO BUSINESS!
Hear what people are saying about the Back to Business Women’s Conference: 

"The Back to Business conference was not only inspiring and engaging, but worthwhile. I entered the conference with an empty tool box and I left with it overflowing.”    -Catherine

“I would not have had the courage to do these things without your inspiration, Katie! So again, THANK YOU for taking the time to positively influence so many of us”      – Vicki

“Your conference has given me renewed focus, great networking ideas and a solid understanding of the hiring climate in the RTP area.”     – Kelly

“I owe a big THANK YOU to you and everyone involved with Back 2 Business because the conference gave me many things I needed at that time.  I met great people who inspired me to keep moving forward with a positive attitude.  I gained insight into how best to present myself on paper and in person.  Please know that your efforts are appreciated and I hope the Back 2 Business conference continues to inspire people for many years to come.”     -Laura

“You and your team really have done it again! I truly enjoyed the conference and once more got tons of invaluable information in my job quest. This time around I’m more prepared and ready, and I’m actively seeking. The networking opportunity was great and I got some very good connections.”     -Anneli

“I wanted to follow up with you about the Back to Business conference and the impact it has had on my outlook and efforts.  Thank you for the time, energy and passion that you put into making the time worthwhile and productive.  I left the conference feeling confident that finding a job was possible, and that I needed put forth a more concentrated effort.  I have updated my resume, improved my LinkedIn profile and contacted people through LinkedIn.”     – Laura  

“The conference helped me to use job search time more wisely.  I abandoned job boards and instead targeted specific companies.  I focused intensively on networking instead of blindly applying to employers.  The week I accepted this offer I actually had 3 more interviews lined up because of this approach.
– The conference made me feel less alone and more confident, and that made all the difference when I was interviewing.-The conference encouraged me to completely own my volunteering experience and use that in my job search.  That made a big difference, because instead of skipping over that part of my life (21 years), I used it in my job search and interview answers.  I found that when I respected it, potential employers respected it.
-I tracked down every single connection I made at the conference, and those connections led to other connections.  The opportunity for networking made a huge difference as well.” - Elizabeth

“Thank you so very much for touching the hearts and minds of so many by providing a much needed, excellent conference on how to most efficiently and effectively map a return to the workforce. You and you fellow speakers were informative and inspirational. The different stories shared were comforting and instructive.    – Jamesina
