Speaker Panel: Technology, trails and trends driving business and innovation in the mountains.

Vail has become one of the most connected resort in North America, which makes Eagle County a desirable place for innovators, risk takers and entrepreneurs to launch. Join us for a discussion on how mountain towns are attracting and supporting entrepreneurs with resources and an outdoor inspired lifestyle. In partnership with Techstars West Slope Startup Week, this discussion hosted at the Colorado Snowsports Museum will highlight local stories:
  • Local, innovative tech business
  • Sustainable, global fashion brand
  • Growth of the outdoor recreation industry
  • Trends across mountain towns of entrepreneurial ecosystems
Everyone is welcome! Local leaders, business owners (current, future or dreamers), friends and Go Pro Spectators are encouraged to attend to build momentum and feel inspired.

The event is FREE - space is limited.

*Doors open at 5:30pm. Presentation starts at 6pm*
