One day of practical playbooks, national connections and growth tools you can use right away.

StrikeUP returns for its sixth year as Canada’s largest digital conference for women entrepreneurs—a free, accessible and inspiring event designed to fuel growth, innovation and connection.

This year’s theme, Rise to the Challenge, celebrates women entrepreneurs who meet change head-on, redefining what’s possible and creating opportunity through resilience and leadership.

Your free access to StrikeUP’s digital conference comes packed with a concentrated program from 11:00 AM to 3:30 PM EST, plus optional networking once the stream ends. Expect standout keynotes, sharp workshops, honest panel conversations and a resource lineup built to move your business forward. You gain on demand replay access, prize opportunities and the ability to connect with thousands of women entrepreneurs across Canada.

You can join entirely online with a login link delivered a few days before the event or choose the energy of a local live viewing party,
