the experience
The region of Friuli Venezia Giulia borders Austria, Slovenia, and the Adriatic Sea. You will hike at the base of the stunning sharp-peaked Dolomite Mountains and taste excellent wines produced by women-owned vineyards.
Friuli is one of the Best Spots to Visit in Italy according to the Travel and Leisure editors – February, 26 2021
Our Italian experience starts in Milano, where we will have lunch with a few of the Capital’s change makers. After an immersion into the Italian arts and culture, we will continue our way east heading toward the Italian – Slovenian border for a stay in a medieval village named one of the most beautiful in Italy. We’ll conclude our travels meeting with new friends at a science festival, and closing our week with a celebration in the Tarvisio Forest and the Julian Alps.
Expert and innovative Women of Impact (we are all keynote!)
Intimate closed sessions with peers (business speed dating)
Interview opportunities (feature your business or project)
Exchange with others for business- and personal growth (lifelong friendship)!
Together we will bring about an enlightened, fully conscious economic system. One that embraces women-led businesses, creates products and services that support our families, strengthens our communities, protects the environment, and results in a more balanced society.
