Vancouver
Expansiveness Begins on the West Coast
Vancouver marks the starting point of a cross-Canada conversation on capital and influence. Rooted in a city where innovation meets nature, the Vancouver stop explores how women are redefining wealth as stewardship, a force that fuels longevity, sustainability, and shared prosperity.
Across a half-day of dynamic exchange, leaders from venture, wellness, climate finance, and creative industries will examine how expansive capital thinking, from investment to impact, is shaping Canada’s future economy.
The West Coast lens is clear: capital is not finite. It is renewable, regenerative, and multiplied through connection, vision, and action.
