In Full Bloom

Join us to celebrate and spotlight the inspiring women of Waterloo on Friday, March 6, 2026.

From 3 to 8 p.m., enjoy an indoor International Women’s Day Market showcasing a diverse selection of businesses led by talented women selling jewelry, food, beauty products, home goods, and more. The market is open to the public and free to attend.

From 5 to 7 p.m., guests are invited into the CIGI auditorium for In Full Bloom, a thoughtful panel that moves beyond celebration and into action. This conversation explores How We Bloom: The Three Relationships Every Woman Entrepreneur Needs.

We’re excited to welcome Melissa Durrell, Chair of the Uptown Waterloo BIA Board of Directors, to the stage this year. Melissa wears many hats in our community and will share insight into the relationships that support women as they build businesses, lead teams, create culture, and shape the places we live and work.

Registration is required for In Full Bloom as seating is limited.

Come for the market.

Stay for the conversation.

Leave feeling inspired and connected.

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
