About this Event
ABOUT THE EVENT
Rising Voices: Growth, Confidence & New Beginnings is an intentionally curated event designed to empower women to step into new roles, ideas, and opportunities with confidence and clarity.
The event is created for women who are navigating moments of transition whether stepping into leadership, launching a new initiative, changing career paths, or learning to trust their voice before they feel fully “ready.”
Through inspiring keynote conversations, interactive workshops, and intentional opportunities for reflection and connection, this gathering creates a supportive space where courage is nurtured, growth is normalized, and women are reminded that clarity often follows action not perfection.
The program will also feature distinguished keynote speakers and thought leaders:
1. Jennifer Stewart – CEO at Syntax Strategic; Co-Founder, The Honest Talk
2. Dr. Marry Gunaratnam PD, EMBA, MASc, P.Eng, PMP – Senior Vice President, IT, Northern Credit Union.
WHO IS IT FOR?
We look forward to welcoming women leaders, entrepreneurs, professionals, community advocates, students, and emerging changemakers, including women from underrepresented and multicultural backgrounds. Attendees will have the opportunity to connect with emerging and established professionals and changemakers from various sectors including government, SMEs, non-profit, education, and community development.
WHAT'S IN IT FOR ME?
Gain powerful inspiration and practical insights for women who are seeking role models that reflect their identities, experiences, and aspirations.
In addition to the guest addresses, the event will include interactive workshops, panel discussions, community dialogues, and structured networking opportunities designed to cultivate mentorship and long-term support networks for women across different career and life stages.
