Alberta Women Entrepreneurs Connect Event | Calgary
Celebrate. Connect. Be Inspired.
Join women entrepreneurs from across Alberta for an evening dedicated to celebrating the women who are building businesses, creating impact, and shaping our communities.
This special AWE Community gathering is more than a networking event, it's an opportunity to come together, recognize the entrepreneurial journeys we rarely pause to acknowledge, and connect with other women who understand both the challenges and rewards of building a business.
Throughout the evening, you'll hear inspiring stories from women leaders, celebrate achievements big and small, and build meaningful connections with fellow entrepreneurs in a welcoming and supportive environment.
Whether you're launching a new venture, growing an established business, navigating a pivot, or redefining success on your own terms, you'll find a community that understands your journey.
You'll also learn about AWE programs and services, along with resources available to support women entrepreneurs across Alberta.
Because behind every successful entrepreneur is a community that believes in her.

Keynote Presentation:
Channeling Ambition into Action: Inspiration Is Great, now Make It Real.
Presented by Amanda Wagner
Inspiration can spark possibility, but action creates results. Join Amanda Wagner for an engaging keynote that explores how women can embrace their ambition, focus their energy, and take meaningful steps toward the future they want to build.
About the Speaker
Amanda Wagner is “a bit much” - a strategist, speaker, and hype-woman who helps entrepreneurs and leaders understand and operationalize their ambition. With 7 careers by 37, currently running her business while pursuing a PhD focused on understanding experiences of ambition for women, Amanda is always in pursuit of “more” and “the next big thing”. Using her original FLAME framework as a guide, she helps people protect their ambition and focus on action. Known for her quick wit, humour, and quiet revolution against what it means to be a “good girl”, Amanda’s power is in her presence. She brings to the stage both sizzle and steak, insisting that audiences remember her name and make a name for themselves.
