This event will be an engaging and enlightening exploration into the pivotal issues shaping the business landscape. The Women's Advisory Voice of Edmonton (WAVE) Committee invites you to join an evening of candid conversations, shared experiences, and actionable insights from a diverse panel of business and community leaders. It is imperative to address the challenges faced by businesses and organizations from an equity, diversity, and inclusion lens (EDI) and as such, our panelists are distinguished leaders who will bring forth their unique perspectives, experiences, and strategies for navigating EDI in their careers.

Throughout the panel discussion, expect to gain valuable insights into embracing diversity as a catalyst for innovation, overcoming obstacles, and creating environments that empower all businesses to thrive, in the profit and non-profit sector. This is a conversation about seizing opportunities, dismantling barriers, and envisioning a future where there are no bounds. We will shine a spotlight on business and community leaders who have worked through adversity, demonstrating that diversity can be a driving force behind successful ventures.

Our diverse panel of industry leaders includes Katherine O'Neill, Mallory Yawnghwe, and Marni Panas. Each panelist brings a wealth of experience, sharing their personal journeys, challenges faced, and the transformative impact of embracing EDI principles. Engage with our panelists, pose questions, and contribute to understanding how we can collectively foster a more inclusive business ecosystem. Throughout the event, we encourage you to connect with like-minded individuals who share a passion for creating a more inclusive city. Forge meaningful connections that extend beyond the event.
