On June 26-28, 2009, Chicago will see the biggest plus size convention for women in the United States. The Real Women Summit is the uniting, strengthening, and revolutionizing of the plus size woman in America. For years, plus size women (sizes 12+) have been made to feel as though they are the minority in society through mind altering conditioning by mass media, but NO MORE!

The 1st Annual Real Women Summit will be held June 26-28, 2009 in Chicago, IL. The weekend will be packed with excitement, including workshops, motivational speakers, an expo, discussion panel, fashion show and much more.

The Real Women Summit is an innovative and interactive event experience designed to empower, strengthen, and unite plus size women across the US as well as introduce them to life changing resources to better their daily lives.

The Real Women Summit will feature twenty-four (24) Signature Models from across the US, with scheduled appearances by award winning International poet and actress Sonya Renee, plus model and actress Christina Mendez, spoken word artist Tamara Blue (of Def Poetry Jam fame), Chicago native musicians Spq-Her, and a host of others.

There will also be events hosted by The Real Women Summit Signature Models in major cities across the US. More information available about these events will be available at www.realwomensummit.org or www.myspace.com/realwomensummit.
