Connecting the Dots: The Power of Communities
This year’s summit will bring together leaders, change-makers, and community members for a transformative experience.
The program features dynamic keynote speakers, an intimate fireside chat, and live entertainment woven throughout the evening.
Guests will enjoy a seated dinner, meaningful networking opportunities, and an exclusive after-event party designed to ignite collaboration and lasting connections.
In alignment with our commitment to advancing equity, safety, and community wellbeing, the summit will also support Atira Women’s Resource Society — a leading organization dedicated to ending gender-based violence and empowering women and gender-diverse people to live free from harm.
Together, we are helping to build safer futures, amplify survivor voices, and create pathways to healing and empowerment for women across British Columbia.
This is more than an event — it is a movement to connect the dots across communities, amplify voices, and ignite change.
Thank you again for your support. We look forward to hosting you!
