About this Event
Female leaders are peeling back the curtain, going beyond the highlight reel, and sharing the real story behind success.
This is the second installment of We Effed Up – Now What?! and the third event hosted by The Rise Society. We’re making it bigger, bolder, and even more unforgettable.
Think honest conversations, big laughs, and the kind of behind-the-scenes truth that makes you feel instantly seen.
March 27 | Nanaimo Conference Centre
We Effed Up – Now What?!
Early Bird Ends Feb. 6
We’re talking resilience - the pressure, the pivots, the perfection culture, the imposter syndrome, and the moments you almost quit… but didn’t.
Because let’s be real: your mistakes feel a whole lot lighter when you hear someone you admire share theirs first. So we’re bringing the humor, the honesty, and the lessons that come from building something real.
And we want you there.
What to Expect
• Going beyond the highlight reels
• Real talk from three wildly inspiring women
• Resilience stories you’ll actually relate to
• Laughs, lessons, and honest behind-the-scenes truth
• A space to feel seen, inspired, and valued
• An opportunity to connect with like-minded women on Vancouver Island
This feels way more like a live talk show and way less like any business or networking event you’ve ever been to. It’s fun, real, electric - and you’ll leave feeling seen, inspired, and fully lit up. Suitable for any woman, not just women in business.
Plus: complimentary snacks + appies.
Seats are limited, stories are big, and early bird pricing disappears fast.
