WeROC 2021 (Women Entrepreneurs Realizing Opportunities For Capital)
September 24, 2021 @ 8:00 am - 7:00 pm MDT
The theme for this years’ conference is Resilience. COVID impacted the entire world but disproportionately impacted women, particularly those with children. As we emerge from COVID, we want to highlight opportunities to increase investment in women, overcome industry bias, and build new relationships.
