Events

Since 1992, we’ve helped thousands of women take on the world of entrepreneurship with both hands, connecting them with expert advisors, workshops, mentorship programs, trade missions, networking events, conferences and more, all designed to propel them toward success in business and leadership.

It’s about building your toolbox and being a part of a supportive community that also challenges you to reach your full potential. When you surround yourself with successful women who have been there and done that, you can’t help but feel inspired.

We’ve got all kinds of learning and networking opportunities coming up. Come and set your plan in motion!
