Season 9 of the Female Founders Speaker Series continues on Monday, March 24th from 5:30-7pm at Hotel Vermont. This panel will feature three incredible Olympians! The theme of the night is the "Olympian mindset" and how these women applied this mindset to their entrepreneurial journey after the Games.
Agenda:
5:30-5:40pm - Mingle, grab a drink and get settled
5:40-6:30pm - Panel led by Nicole Eaton
6:30-7pm - Audience Q&A
7-8pm - If you don’t need to head home, then grab another drink, bop over to the lobby, and continue the conversation with fellow attendees and speakers. It will be so fun and laid back that you might accidentally network :) If you are unable to attend in person, not to worry! As always, the event will be recorded and available to stream at a later date.
