The expo also includes a variety of demonstrations including yoga, salsa dancing and cooking, along with beauty tips, fashion, food sampling and wine tasting.

The day will also feature smaller sessions that will pair experts with topics relevant to  women, such as raising sexually healthy children, holistic health remedies and more.
