Where Networking, Sales, and Marketing come together, businesses grow — and newcomers discover real pathways to careers and opportunity
About this Event

This is where you find connection — the place where doors open, confidence rises, and your network becomes your greatest asset.

This high‑energy session is designed to help you:

  • Get jobs and career opportunities
  • Attract customers
  • Find business partners
  • Connect with mentors
  • Build real friendships and community

Created especially for immigrants, newcomers, and young women, this event helps you strengthen your voice, expand your opportunities, and introduce yourself with clarity and power.

In just 60 seconds, you’ll practice sharing who you are, what you do, the challenges you face, and the opportunities you’re seeking — all within a safe, supportive, multicultural environment that celebrates your story.

This event is more than networking.
It’s about visibility, courage, community, and meaningful engagement.
It’s about learning to ask for help, offering support to others, and discovering how IWB can champion your journey forward.

You’ll also explore allyship, learning how to uplift one another, advocate for equity, and foster a deep sense of belonging within your communities.

Whether you’re looking for clients, collaborators, mentors, or simply a place where you feel seen and valued — this is your moment to shine.
