Celebrate International Women’s Day With Us — March 3, 2026

4:00 PM – 7:00 PM • Business Sisters Centre • $45 + HST

Our first networking event of 2026 is finally here—and yes, we’re making it a special one. Join the Business Sisters community for an evening of connection, vision-building, and downright delightful food as we celebrate International Women’s Day together.

What’s Included

• A curated charcuterie buffet prepared by Melanie Willard of Willard Creations here in Alexandria
• A variety of refreshing mocktails and non-alcoholic drinks
• Interactive visioning stations where you help shape the future of women’s entrepreneurship with Business Sisters
• Door prizes (because surprises are fun, and we like to keep things interesting)
• Networking that actually feels good—not awkward

Why You Should Be There

This isn’t just another networking event. It’s the kickoff to a year where women entrepreneurs lead boldly, support deeply, and celebrate each other every step of the way.

Whether you’re building, rebuilding, scaling, or dreaming—this event is designed to give you the energy boost, connections, and inspiration to start 2026 strong.
