Elevate International IWW 2022

Traditionally hosted on Parliament Hill in Canada's Capital, Elevate International is honoured to host an annual leadership event dedicated to advancing the leadership and economic empowerment of women. It aims to inspire and equip more women to pursue leadership roles; empower a truly diverse and inclusive workforce, and help more aspiring leaders to realize their full potential.

Our Goal: Together, we can help more women leaders achieve an even greater impact on our society. With the support of committed partners, we look forward to creating a powerfully elevating experience that attracts stakeholders from across our region, throughout the country, and around the world.

Elevate International is transforming our one-day annual International Women’s Day conference on Parliament Hill into an engaging and interactive event series with broad global reach. This series will bring together women, champions and allies who are passionate about diversity, equity, and inclusion, and creating new leadership opportunities for women from every walk of life.

Thank you for an incredible 20201
