The Odlum Brown Forum Pitch Finale is more than a celebration of three Finalists—it's an opportunity to build a future where no woman is left behind.

Let's take this opportunity to celebrate those who are soaring high with the support they've received, and to challenge the obstacles that dare to stand in the paths of women entrepreneurs.

Together, let's build a future where no woman is left behind.

Join us live at The Odlum Brown Forum Pitch Finale on April 27 for an unforgettable evening of:

• Celebrating women entrepreneurs

• Connecting with community

• Fundraising to support The Forum

We'll watch some of Canada’s most promising women entrepreneurs pitch their final business visions, and cheer them on as they each walk away with a $30,000 CAD prize package to fund their goals.

Two unique ways to support The Forum on April 27th!

1. Attend in-person at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver - our largest fundraising event of the year!

In light of Mentoring Month, we're catching up with The Forum mentor Tia Upshaw, CEO and Founder of Canadian Blk Women in Excellence Society. Tia's passion for mentorship led her to create the non-profit, which provides Black women in Atlantic Canada with the support she couldn't find.

Since 2020, Tia's organization has launched workshops, seminars, mentorship initiatives, and more to help Black women entrepreneurs overcome the barriers that prevent them from succeeding.

We look forward to a lively and enlightening conversation with this tenacious serial entrepreneur and motivational speaker!

RSVP now to join us on January 19 at 12pm PST/3pm EST.
