This 'conference' is unlike any other! It is FREE and 'a la carte', meaning you get to choose your own adventure; come to as much or as little as you like. Sessions are hosted in Downtown Durango at various venues.

If you run your business, started your business, or want to start a business, there is something in here for you.

Mahjong is a tile-based table-top game developed in 19th century China. Similar to the Western card game rummy, mahjong is a game of skill, strategy, and luck. It is entertaining to play and, like dominoes, is relatively easy to learn.

All are welcome, join us twice monthly to play!
