Business Learning Series
ONLINE BUSINESS WORKSHOP AND LEARNING LABS FOR WOMEN ENTREPRENEURS
You’re building something bold. You shouldn’t have to do it alone. These sessions meet you where you are.
AWE’s Business Learning Series is a rotating calendar of live, online business workshops and learning labs designed to help women entrepreneurs build confidence, clarity, and momentum at every stage of business.
Introducing practical learning, shared wisdom, and tools you can actually use.
This isn’t “sit back and listen” learning.
Our Business Learning Series brings together:
Live, online business workshops
Interactive learning labs
Subject-matter experts who get real business realities
Not every topic runs all the time. That’s intentional.
Sessions run throughout the year based on what women entrepreneurs are asking for and what’s happening in the business landscape right now.
Calendar
What You Can Expect
Every Business Learning Series session is built with intention:
Live and online, so you can join from anywhere in Alberta
Practical and grounded, not theoretical
Facilitated by experts, advisors, and trusted partners
Designed for busy founders, usually 60–90 minutes
Interactive, with space for questions, reflection, and real conversation
Some sessions are single workshops. Others are Learning Labs; multi-part sessions that go deeper and focus on doing, not just learning.
