Toronto Women's Empowerment Events - November Edition
A curated list of monthly events, just for you.
One of the best ways to empower women is to provide them with a space to make life-changing connections. If you’re on the lookout for the best networking opportunities out there, take a moment to browse through this month’s list.
While not all of these events are exclusively for women, they’re here for a reason. Perhaps the event features a successful female founder, or maybe a strong woman speaker is taking the lead on a topic that is relevant to me… and you. Whatever the case, I hope to see you there!
Note: Some of these events are targeted to new graduates or women whose careers have just begun, while others are only relevant to senior executives or those in leadership positions. I recommend researching the speaker and topic before you commit.
Please come back often as this list is updated several times a month.
