B.C.’s economy needs more women leaders — in business, on boards and in growing industries.

Join the leaders — men and women in your community — in a powerful and engaging working forum to identify solutions. This uniquely formatted event will have participants actively contributing throughout the day, in order to advance the conversation into action strategies for economic growth.

This economic forum will help facilitate conversation, while highlighting challenges and opportunities here in B.C. Most importantly, feedback from the forum will help create practical recommendations for government, business and individuals — to shape policy and ultimately create change. Change for all stakeholders.

The forum will focus on generating an Action Plan with clear steps for:

Growing the number of women in senior leadership positions.
Growing the number of women entrepreneurs.
Growing the number of women in non-traditional jobs and emerging sectors.
New strategies for economic growth are needed. Attend this forum and contribute to the solution!

The World Economic Forum has identified women as the fastest-growing economic force in the world today. In B.C., the time to affect change and increase economic growth through women is now. Participants will be contributing to the economic future of B.C.
