Navigating the Unexpected
The lessons learned to prepare for changing conditions ahead
2020…2021…what next?
The Vermont Womenpreneurs Summit focuses on the pandemic-era stories and lessons learned from women business owners and local business leaders.
Our intent, after a year of cancelling our in-person biannual showcases in 2020, was to convene with womenpreneurs across the state this Fall. Those plans were short lived with the rise of variants and the decision to do a multi-evening virtual event instead. The uncertainty of the moment compels us to continue with the theme of Navigating the Unexpected, a reminder of the radical changes we made to our businesses and lives over the past two years…and the changes we will face ahead of us. We have organized panel discussions over four consecutive evenings on November 1-4, 2021 to discuss the following with a pandemic lens:
Get your business on the map!
