VISIT PHILADELPHIA® wants to shine a spotlight on great experiences for visitors (and locals) — exhibits, tours, attractions, parks and gardens, restaurants, shops, shows, hotels and more. Their web, social media and media relations teams want to spread the word about what you’re up to.

Have a big event or festival coming up? Ready to release your exhibition schedule for the year? Just opened a new shop? Restaurant news to share? Give them the scoop as far in advance as you can, and they’ll determine if and how they can help amplify your message. To be clear, they can only promote content that aligns with their mission to promote leisure travel to our region. Submission does not guarantee coverage. 

This March for Women’s History Month, WBENC is celebrating the past and focusing on the future – we want to shine a light on the incredible accomplishments of women as entrepreneurs and innovators throughout history, while also acknowledging the immense challenges women face today, especially as business owners and entrepreneurs, and plot a more equitable and prosperous path forward.

This month, help us amplify the stories of successful women innovators and entrepreneurs and join our rallying call to create a movement of support for women-owned businesses.

The virtual event series will take place each week throughout March. Explore the full event schedule, session details, and attendee pricing information.
