Registration is open for West Slope Startup Week, celebrating rural entrepreneurs and taking place from October 6th through 10th in downtown Durango. The events are free, but registration is required. More information is at startupcolorado.org.

Five days of ideas, connection, and collaboration.

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.
