The eighth edition of the WNORTH conference, Canada’s largest destination gathering for women in leadership, is making its return to Whistler.
This year’s Conference will be held at the picturesque Four Seasons Resort Whistler with activities held around the resort including Connect Dinners at a variety of local restaurants.
Attendees will also be able to tune in virtually for an immersive three-day agenda that honours the theme, Lift As We Climb, in upholding the transformative power of connection and mentorship in bridging the gender power gap in business and beyond.
To kick off the programming, WNORTH has announced a two-year partnership with TD as the sponsor of the conference, in support of women’s professional growth.
Through captivating keynotes, interactive workshops, and thought-provoking roundtables led by internationally renowned speakers and visionary business leaders, these individuals will delve deep into the essence of inclusion, community, and mentorship, unravelling their true power and impact.
“We are excited to welcome 250 women in person and 2,000+ virtually to Whistler to collaborate and uplift the community together. This is a time to be bold and create a landscape of sustained success that is woven by mentorship and shared experiences,” says Heather Odendaal, Founder and CEO of WNORTH.
“In the last decade, WNORTH has gathered over 20,000 women worldwide to cultivate a lasting impact on the community through the hundreds of events, peer mentorship forums and workshops. In 2024, we want to extend our thanks to our sponsors TD, PepsiCo Foods Canada, Cisco, University Canada West and Translink, as well as our media partners, The Globe and Mail and BCBusiness, for their unrelenting support in putting our 8th Conference on.”
