Get WILD with us on May 15th! Women Inspiring Leadership Development (WILD) is a new Boulder Startup Week Track that gets real about relevant issues and pushes past passé dialogue to exchange powerful ideas, share experiences and gain practical, actionable advice.
WILD @ BSW is presented by the WILD Council, a volunteer network of experienced business women with a mission to positively impact the trajectory of tomorrow’s leaders – shattering ceilings, breaking molds and challenging the gender status-quo to forge brighter futures for women in business and leadership.
Join us at the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art for a packed day of WILD sessions from 11-4p that showcase women’s diversity power, leadership impact, startup success and mentoring muscle. Happy hour reception will follow.
EVERYONE is welcome – WILD women of Boulder AND those that support equity, diversity and inclusion. Men … that means you can come too!
