DIVERSEcity x Minerva Women’s Leadership Forum

Join us for the fourth annual DIVERSEcity x Minerva Women’s Leadership Forum on Wednesday, March 4, 2026, 10 am – 2 pm in celebration of International Women’s Day!

Let's connect, learn and celebrate together as we explore what it means to be a woman leader today, and how can we uplift and learn from each other to advance our careers and lives.

With incredible women speakers, including Vancouver comedian Julie Kim, group wellness activities, entertainment, exhibitor tables, a lunch buffet, floral photo studio and plenty of opportunity for dialogue and networking, the day's program will focus on ways to build ourselves as women leaders while uplifting others. Together, we bloom!
