The Power of WE

The Power of WE (Women Entrepreneurs) Gathers Women from Colorado’s mountain town communities and beyond to Unleash their Full Potential in Business

We have attended The Power of WE since its inception and cannot emphasize how much it has assisted our publishing company in its growth (and we sure have grown). The knowledge held within the conference space during this gathering is astounding and this year will be no different, especially with the addition of Pre-Conference Workshops on the day before – which we will be attending.

From Keynote Speakers, to informative Breakout Sessions, meaningful Networking and Delicious, healthy food we cannot emphasize enough how wonderful this event will be. Oh, and the location is superb, especially if you live in the high snowy mountains.
