Work Smarter: Making Tech Work for Your Business

Join Vermont’s vibrant community of women business owners for a day of connection, learning, and collective action.

Running a business takes vision and resilience. The right tools and technology can help you work smarter, reduce overwhelm, and make the day-to-day parts of your business feel easier. This conference is for business owners who want practical support, better systems, and simple ways to strengthen how their business runs. You will explore approachable tools, real-world strategies, and fresh ideas that can save time, support growth, and help you feel more confident about the role technology can play in your business. You do not need to be tech savvy to benefit. You just need curiosity and a desire to find tools that truly work for you.
