FEMALE FOUNDERS SPEAKER SERIES

SEASON 10

Episode 1: Trending

About the Series: Since 2016, VCET’s Female Founders Speaker Series has served as a platform for female identifying entrepreneurs from across the State of Vermont to tell their stories. At VCET, we believe that storytelling is one of the most impactful tools for inspiring the business owners and female founders of tomorrow. Hosted and moderated for 9 seasons by Sam Roach-Gerber who has recently passed the torch to Nicole Eaton, the series is held at Burlington’s beloved Hotel Vermont.

We’re kicking off Season 10 of the Female Founders Speakers Series with a topic on Trending. Three amazing women will speak on fashion, retail, and strategy in a market that never sleeps. From hairstyles to outfits to wellness hacks, there are always new trends to hop on. Come hear how these women are setting them, chasing them, and making them work for their businesses.
