Event Roundup: Entrepreneurship Panel

Thank you to everyone who attended our sold out ‘Entrepreneurship Panel: Enterprising Women in Powerful Positions’ event, it was a success! Seeing as October was Small Business Month, it was only fitting to have an event that focussed on female entrepreneurs.

Our fierce moderator, Emily Mills, led the conversation for the evening and was joined by our amazing panel: Anat Davidzon, Rita Vinieris, Sara Cohen and Liz Falconer.

      

Our panel talked about what it’s like to be your own boss, the early years, the best advice they’ve ever received and much more. Towards the tail end of the conversation, the floor was open to our attendees for a Q/A session and the conversation was refreshingly real.

As well, for the first time ever, Lean In Canada had an event marketplace and showcased a handful of dynamic female entrepreneurs and their products. Thank you MÉLODIE Ties for Her, Bluish, Pastel Dress Party and Biko for being a part of our intimate marketplace and for adding to the success of the evening. Thank you for also providing the raffle prizes – the winners were thrilled with their prizes!

   

Thank you also to Aroma for providing takeaway gifts for all attendees – the notebooks, delicious chocolates and coupons were a big hit! And, congratulations to the winner of the Aroma gift set. Also, thank you to Barreworks for the complimentary class and the new client special offer.

Thank you to our Gold sponsor, Secret (P&G), our Event Sponsor, BDC, and to our National Sponsors: Crowe Soberman, The Spoke Club and 108 Idea Space. We’d also like to thank Chocolates By Brandon Olsen for the gourmet chocolates for our panel.

Event photos are up on our Facebook page, so please feel free to tag yourself. We’d like to thank Farah Ghazal of Farah Ghazal Photography for the wonderful photos.

Thank you to everyone who attended – we hope you enjoyed the event as much as we did.
