Share your voice, wisdom, and experience with a community of women who are creating impact across the Kootenays.
Our mission is to celebrate women in all walks of life. We believe in the power of authentic stories, shared experience, and practical strategies to help women thrive personally and professionally.
We host events that connect local leaders, innovators, and changemakers through panels, workshops, and community conversations, offering inspiration and real-world insights that empower women to take the next step with confidence.
If you have a message that sparks connection, a story that inspires growth, or expertise that can help other women rise, we’d love to hear from you.
How does it work?
This application isn’t for one specific event — it helps us build a speaker directory of amazing women we can reach out to for upcoming summits, panels, workshops, and networking events across the Kootenays.
We receive many inspiring applications each year. If you don’t hear from us right away, please don’t be discouraged! We regularly review and refresh our speaker lineup based on event themes, timing, and community requests.
Note: Speaking opportunities include special visibility and community recognition, but they are not paid engagements at this time. (We’ll share more details on inclusions once confirmed for each event.)
