Testimonials

As a first-year attendee and speaker, I know this is an exceptional event that connects women business owners across North Dakota.  It’s an event I won’t miss in the future! I’d love to see the event double in size next year to connect more women, so make sure to mark your calendar and attend next year!
– Kari Dunn, Owner of All In Development Company

This has been the best $500 I have spent for my business since I started. I have met so many incredible women who are smarter and know more about business than me. These women can be key figures to help grow my business. If you think you have your business all wrapped up, I promise there are women at Summit that can make your business better!

– Rebecca Moreno-Adam, Legendary Grains

These events allow me to meet other women in business who I can relate to. It allows me to feel as though I am not the only one dealing with some of the struggles.  These connections allow me to give back and share my expertise and mentor as others have done for me.

– Sandi Luck, Owner of Bully Brew Coffee House

I often think of my business as too niche for most groups. I almost did not come. However, I was encouraged by another past participant, who also feels niche. She said that regardless there is so much good that will come from attending. This meeting did not disappoint.

It’s been a fantastic couple of days at the NDWBC Women’s Business Summit. The stories shared are so raw and inspiring. They have really created a safe place here for business owners to connect and share ideas to overcome challenges. The 3 days of expert connection improves business in our communities.

– Tiffanie Honeyman, Owner of OpGo Marketing

Information to be announced

What if I need to skip a workshop or session?

We know that owners are busy. At the same time, you don’t want to miss the questions, connections, or topics that are in the schedule. However, think of Summit as a vacation for your business, so feel free to step out of a session or skip one to meet your needs.

If you can’t or don’t want to attend, you’ll miss the important points and won’t get the value out of Summit, but of course, you are free to spend your time at Summit in the best way for yourself and your business.

How many are coming to Summit?

NDWBC is expecting 100 business owners at this year’s Summit. There will also be a community of subject matter experts and ecosystem partners who will contribute to the thought-provoking discussions.

Is Summit breakfast included if I'm not staying at the Rough Rider's Hotel?

Yes, breakfast at the Rough Rider’s Hotel is included in your ticket price. Breakfast is invaluable networking time. Don’t miss a moment!

My car broke down, will you come and pick me up?

We are sorry to hear about this unfortunate event. Please call our Summit Help Line at 701-587-3071 to talk to our staff.

Your confirmation email may have gone into your Junk or Spam Folder. Check there. If you still haven’t received one, please reach out to us at info@ctbnd.com.

Can I bring my family?

Bringing your family to Summit is a way to enjoy Medora before the Summer rush and can be used as business expense, but NDWBC encourages you to see Summit as a vacation for your business it is not a vacation from your business.

Summit is an opportunity for invaluable business connections and training. Playtime is a bonus. While Summit offers you time to pause, relax, and recharge, your family’s purpose in Medora should be to play, explore, and relax.

I have food allergies, will I have options?

Yes, the Rough Rider Hotel will offer a variety of options to meet dietary requirements. If you are still concerned, let us know and we will connect you with Rough Riders Hotel management.

When do we have free time in the evenings?

While not an exclusive room for mothers, our staff will have a room close to the action, so you can feed your little one or pump without disruption. Please ask our staff about how you can access it.

How does NDWBC help business owners?
