2023 THEME
Moving Mountains
“A woman who moves a mountain begins by carrying her community.”
The need for community is stronger than ever before. After years of uncertainty, the global economy is shifting, trimming excess and recalibrating expectations. How can we – as women and stewards of communities – make sense of this dynamic moment to create not just a more equitable future but a sustainable one where we bridge the gender power gap?
The WNORTH Conference is looking for answers with a three-day agenda exploring innovation, inclusion, resilience, and opportunity in turbulent times.
Our Venue
Nita Lake Lodge, Whistler, Canada
Nita Lake Lodge has been the home of the WNORTH Conference for seven years.
Discover a uniquely modern take on classic Whistler hospitality at Nita Lake Lodge. Located in the village of Creekside, along the shores of a beautiful, glacier-fed lake, this is a hotel experience unlike any other. Unwind in the serenity of oversized suites, brimming with boutique amenities and home-like touches.
Soothe your body at the full-service, organic spa, or enjoy a delicious meal at its award-winning restaurant. Should you wish to explore, the property is only 500 meters from the base of Whistler Mountain and the Creekside Gondola, and vibrant Whistler Village is just a short walk or shuttle ride away.
