Startup Princess Retreat
On November 7th and 8th I'll be spending a couple of days 1,954 miles from New York — participating in the Startup Princess Academy — where I'll be heading out a workshop all about social media. I'm really, really looking forward to it.
It is always a pleasure to meet women that have started (or are hoping/planning/trying to start) their own businesses — I'm a total sucker for anything entrepreneurial. And I'm delighted to get to spend time with the other speakers as well: Barbara Jones, who I know and love. Holly Buchanan and Janet Meiners Thaler, two women I would love to meet. And the founder of Startup Princess, Kelly King Anderson.
Staying at the Zermatt Hotel in Midway, Utah — where the Retreat is being held — looks like it will be icing on the cake. No doubt I'm biased because I grew up in Utah, but look how pretty these shots are! I'm sure I've mentioned this before, but in college I worked at the Sundance Resort's Wildflower Farm — very near Midway — and I had views like this out my window while I worked. That was a pretty amazing way to earn my way through my freshman year.
Hey. If you're all about women and startups, I'm thinking you should totally register for the retreat. And I'll see you there!

what a great retreat. I met Barbara years and years ago, she's done some workshops with a friend of mine. I can't believe she is still going strong and enthusiastic! Wish I could be there.
Pictures are breathtaking, making me so homesick for my Timpanogos.
my dad works there! i'll tell him to keep an eye out for you.
ah i wishwishwish i could be there! you're going to have a great time.
I've never been to Utah either, but I am SO looking forward to this event! I am so glad Kelly is putting all of this together.

We stayed there in August for a Grange family reunion. GORGEOUS! Even with kids it was relaxing and wonderful, but on your own you will just love it even more. Enjoy!

I worked for my law firm at a conference at the Zermatt last year--thought it was gorgeous! It is definitely out in the middle of nowhere, but pretty nowhere, if you know what I mean. Safe travels--

Thank you for this beautiful post, Midway IS stunning in every way and the retreat will be a celebration of nature's beauty, new connections, great content and strategy for women marketing on line...so cool.
You're going to be right in my backyard...literally (almost). Enjoy your time here in my neck of the woods! :o)
I love your blog, & what's more, I love Midway! My grandparents live there and, growing up, my family went and stayed with them every summer. Its probably my favorite place to go to relax and clear my head. The Zermatt is beautiful, if you have time go for a drive around there...there's so many things to see!
