FAQ

Event questions, answered

Who can attend Busiqueens events?

Women entrepreneurs and guests. Most meetups and celebrations are open to any woman who registers on the event page; exhibitions are open to the public as visitors. Each event page says who it is for and how to register.

How do I get a stall at AAINA?

Register your interest on the AAINA page or through Partner With Us. Stall bookings open a few months before each edition of the AAINA Luxury Exhibition by Busiqueens, and everyone on the interest list hears first, with stall sizes, prices and dates. Stalls are open to every brand, and Busiqueens members get first pick.

Are Busiqueens events open to everyone?

Yes, most of them are. Visitors are welcome at the AAINA Luxury Exhibition by Busiqueens, and many workshops and celebrations accept guests who register on the event page. Each event page says who the event is for and how to register.

Can I teach a workshop or host a meetup?

Yes. Women who want to teach a skill or host a meetup in their area can propose it through Partner With Us. The team helps with promotion and registrations.

How are meetup locations chosen?

By a poll in our Facebook group. Before each offline meetup the community votes on the area there, and the majority choice wins.
