A WBN or Womens Business Network is a network dedicated to women in business. Business networking is very common, but WBNs are usually coordinated by women, and are for women.

Business networking allows entrepreneurs and working professionals to connect and collaborate, sharing their knowledge and expertise with others who might, in turn, impart knowledge and expertise to them. Network members commonly meet online via videoconfercing, and offer assistance to one another through group chats and email, as well as via telephone when needed.

Most WBNs hold in-person events periodically, which allows members to meet one another offline. One key benefit of WBNs is their ability to foster collaborative dialogue in a more trusted forum, as members share tend to have more in common with one another.
