WILD @ BSW
WILD is now part of Boulder Startup Week. Our 2019 track got real about relevant issues and pushed past passé dialogue to exchange powerful ideas, share experiences and gain practical, actionable advice.
Held on May 15th at the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art, it was a packed day of WILD sessions that showcased women’s diversity power, leadership impact, startup success and mentoring muscle and ended with a happy hour celebration.
To capture some of our panelist’s WILD wisdom beyond this event, we are proud to feature a new WILD @ Boulder Startup Week WILDcast series on Boulder Tech Podcast, hosted by Stephanie Brady and produced by Joel Davis.
