The Meaford International Women’s Day event is a vibrant gathering aimed at celebrating women’s achievements, fostering connection, and supporting women-owned businesses. This year’s event features an exciting blend of activities, from inspirational guest speakers to an inclusive marketplace where local female entrepreneurs can showcase their products and services.
Key Features of the Event:
Vendor Marketplace - Celebrating Women-Owned Businesses
A key highlight of this event is the Vendor Marketplace, where a variety of local women-owned businesses will have booths displaying their goods and services. Attendees can browse and support local entrepreneurs, from handmade goods and fashion to wellness products and artisanal food. This marketplace provides a fantastic opportunity to discover new businesses and connect directly with the women behind them.

This year, attendees will hear from an inspiring lineup of guest speakers who are making their mark in their respective fields:
Bonnie Sitter: A passionate advocate for women’s rights and empowerment, Bonnie will likely speak on the importance of supporting women in leadership roles, overcoming challenges, and championing equality in all sectors of society.

Julie Higginson: Julie, known for her work in the community, will bring an insightful perspective on building networks, fostering personal connections, and empowering others through action and collaboration.
Each speaker’s presentation will offer thought-provoking ideas, practical advice, and inspiration for women looking to make a difference in their own lives and communities.
Nibbles & Refreshments:
To keep things casual and social, light nibbles and refreshments will be served throughout the event. Attendees can enjoy snacks, coffee, tea, and perhaps even some locally made treats, all while mingling with others. The food adds to the welcoming atmosphere, encouraging open conversations and networking.

The event is designed to be a space for networking and connection. Whether you’re looking to expand your professional network, find a mentor, or simply meet like-minded individuals, this event creates opportunities to engage with other women who are passionate about social change, entrepreneurship, and mutual support.
Attendees will have the chance to connect with both the speakers and the vendors in an informal and friendly setting, exchanging ideas, discussing challenges, and sharing resources that help them grow and succeed.
