As thought leaders in our industry, it is essential to continually think of experiential ways to enhance programming, engage attendees, and create surprise and delight moments. By collaborating with my Co-Founder of The Collective: Women’s Empowerment Summit, and leveraging the services offered through her company, Tight Clinic, we curated a list of health and wellness experiences that would be an investment in our guests and something we knew they would love.

THE COLLECTIVE: WOMEN’S EMPOWERMENT SUMMIT EXPERIENCES

On Saturday, March 2, women from all backgrounds and life journeys came together at Toronto’s Park Hyatt Hotel to share, connect, and empower one another to help impact change and create new and supportive personal or professional paths to opportunity.
The Collective: Women’s Empowerment Summit has been an absolute passion project for me, and I was honored to work alongside exceptional and inspiring women to grow our seedling of an idea into a fully-bloomed, experiential event.

Diving deep into the design of the day, the opportunity was clear: develop sessions distinctly dedicated to community, self-enhancement and ensure our audience came away feeling more connected, inspired, motivated, supported, and above all, empowered.

In doing so, we not only created an action-packed program fueled by a stellar lineup of incredible, diverse women trailblazers (see speaker lineup here) and deeper discussions and opportunities to connect but also carefully curated stand-out and personalized experiences to rejuvenate our guests and keep them highly engaged on their path to wellness and personal growth.

I am deeply excited to share a snapshot of the unique experiences our guests enjoyed throughout the day.
