"Accidental Entrepreneur" Dana Bowers is keynote speaker
Dana Bowers
Dana Bowers Founder and CEO, Venminder
Dana Bowers is not your typical CEO. She married young and took classes at night. After losing her job in the banking industry, she went on to create two wildly successful financial tech companies. She grew one of them, iPay, from a start-up to one of the largest, independent bill pay providers in the United States, with a 40% market share.

Join us for a memorable morning hearing from this impressive entrepreneur, and make new friends among Louisville's amazing women leaders.
