“After a three-year hiatus due to the pandemic, I am thrilled to be able to bring back our annual conference in a safe, hybrid setting. None of this would be possible without the support of our sponsors SAP, ATB Financial, Beedie School of Business at Simon Fraser University, and Nita Lake Lodge,” says Heather Odendaal, Founder of WNORTH.

“Our mission at WNORTH has always been to uplift and push organizations to work toward leadership models that are inclusive, transparent, urgent, and boldly collaborative. Now more than ever, women at all career levels need adequate support from their organizations and leaders, as well as the opportunity to connect with like-minded peers, which is why I felt it was imperative to bring the conference back in 2022.”

All WNORTH Conference attendees, speakers, and staff must comply with the Provincial Health Orders of British Columbia. Proof of full vaccination and indoor mask wearing is required. WNORTH also requires proof of a negative antigen or PCR test carried out within the last 72 hours. At this time, the event venue will operate at 50% capacity.
