Last year at the inaugural WebSummit Vancouver, we

Last year at the inaugural WebSummit Vancouver, we noticed something missing: very few spaces designed for women to connect, learn, and lead differently. So we built one.

The circulating side events excel spreadsheet was missing these spaces, and we all know that women benefit from curated spaces where they can hear from women building cool sh*t at these tech conferences so we partnered with Bennett Jones to launch our inaugural WNORTH Leaders Lounge last May.

This year, we are thrilled to share that we will be back at WebSummit Vancouver for year 2 on Monday May 11th.

Our event theme is “Building a Beautiful Mind: AI, Neuroscience & Longevity for Leaders Who Refuse to Peak”
Guest Speaker: @paolatelfer, Founder & CEO of @sens.ai.inc

🌟 Why brain health is becoming the ultimate leadership advantage
🌟 The real neurological shifts impacting women leaders (including perimenopause)
🌟 How AI is changing not just how we work — but how we think
🌟 And why investing in your mind may be the most important decision you make for your longevity

We’ll follow the conversation with intentional networking; the kind WNORTH is known for:

📍 Bennett Jones, Vancouver
🗓 Monday, May 11, 2026
🕔 5:00 – 7:00 PM

This gathering comes on the heels of our 11th annual WNORTH Conference in Whistler and continues our commitment to creating spaces where ambitious women (and allies) can connect in more meaningful ways.

✨ WNORTH Members attend complimentary (with a guest)
✨ Limited tickets (almost SOLD OUT) available for non-members and allies

✨Celebrating Inspiring Global Leadership: Halla To

✨Celebrating Inspiring Global Leadership: Halla Tomasdottir 🇮🇸 ✨

Eight years ago today, at our 2018 #WNORTH Conference at Nita Lake Lodge, Halla Tómasdóttir took the stage.

At the time, we were beginning to explore something that felt both ambitious and necessary; a new era of leadership. One rooted not just in performance, but in purpose. In impact. In courage.

Halla embodied that vision long before it became part of the mainstream conversation. She challenged us to think bigger about the role of leadership in shaping a better world.

Since then, her journey has only deepened that narrative.

She went on to become CEO of The B Team, @richardbranson’s global initiative for responsible business, and more recently, President of Iceland 🇮🇸

Her path is a powerful reminder that values-driven leadership doesn’t just influence organizations, it has the ability to shape nations.

At WNORTH, that conversation has continued to evolve over the past eight years. What started as a call for more conscious leadership has grown into this year’s theme:

The Power Shift: Leading Through Change, Creating What’s Next.

As global influence, leadership, and wealth rapidly evolve, a new kind of decision-maker is rising, one defined by empathy, agility, and impact.

This is the leadership moment we’ve been building toward.
