In the fall, Jennifer Lee, Lisa Sonora Beam, Britt Bravo, and I asked you to tell us what your ideal creative women entrepreneur gathering would look like by completing a survey. We were thrilled that 300+ of you shared your ideas with us! Thank you!

Here are some highlights of what you said:

• Your preferred formats would be a retreat, or an online event
• You are in the beginning stages of starting your businesses
• You would like both early stage and established entrepreneurs to be a part of the gathering
• You want to clarify your vision, network, and learn hard skills (i.e. social media, finance, licensing)

Based on your input, we’re thinking about holding an in-person retreat and an online event in Fall 2010. We’ll keep you posted as things evolve. In the meantime, if you have favorite retreat locations you’d like to recommend, let us know!

We’re continuing to vision and plan a fabulous experience for you and we can’t wait to connect with all of you vibrant and inspiring creative women entrepreneurs.
