The aim of Saturday's expo was to provide a network for women, and that's exactly what it did, said first time guest speaker and attendee MC Dr Sally Cockburn.

"It's important for women to have a place to go to network," she said.

"It's important for women to take time out for themselves.

"And it's validation for women to be told that they are not alone in their issues- that they're not alone."

GP, health advocate and media personality Dr Cockburn said the expo had a fantastic structure and some really good topics.

"We all basically portrayed the same message without actually speaking to each other beforehand," she said.

"You're not alone, you're going ok, the struggles you have been experienced by others, you can do this and it's ok to be yourself.

"It was great for the women to hear real stories about real women."

Most importantly Dr Cockburn said the expo emphasised the "incredible community spirit and resilience in rural areas that sometimes we can forget."

Providers of services or products for rural women were on hand as well as tea, coffee, lunch, wine and cheese tasting.

Grant Thompson and Mitch Rogers spoke about a topic that a lot of women and men from the Central West and beyond worry about: finances.

They provided a variety of options and strategies to assist participants in gaining financial security.

Louise Torrens from BreakThru People Solutions gave an inspiring talk to help people achieve their dreams by breaking down the barriers.

Rebel Black from The Rural Women (TRW) empowered attendees and encouraged them to go out and achieve their goals, not just talk about them.

Emma Priestly has been empowering women for over a decade, but discovered signs of self-doubt.

She taught women how to find themselves and love themselves again.

Indigenous entertainer Casey Donovan spoke of self-worth and self-acceptance as an ambassador of the Plus Size Movement.

Organiser Jan Grady said all of the hard work paid off and those who did not attend should definitely consider attending next year.

"Women need to take the time to invest in themselves and that's exactly what today was about," she said.

"It's an outstanding event each year and we have good numbers this year- it's very rewarding.

"It's grown to an iconic and memorable event and I encourage people to put the last Saturday of November in their diary now."
