Have Business Experience Worth Sharing?
We’re selecting 10 established Vancouver Island women in business to take the virtual stage at the inaugural VIWC Speaker Showcase.
Each Featured Speaker will deliver a focused 20-minute presentation sharing practical knowledge, strategies and lessons drawn from real-world business experience.
We’re looking for women who have built, grown and learned through doing, and who can turn that experience into useful insight for other business owners.
We’re looking for speakers who:
-
Are established business owners based on Vancouver Island
-
Have tangible experience and expertise in their area
-
Can deliver practical, business-focused education, rather than simply sharing their personal story
-
Have an existing online audience or community
-
Are willing to actively promote the Speaker Showcase to their audience
-
Can deliver a clear and engaging 20-minute online presentation
10 Speakers. 10 Areas of Business.
We’re intentionally curating a diverse lineup covering areas such as marketing, sales, finance, branding, leadership, AI & technology, operations, growth, customer experience and business strategy.
There is no fee to participate as a Featured Speaker. In exchange for the visibility and opportunity to take part, selected speakers will be asked to actively help promote the event through their own platforms and networks.
