Introducing WTalks

as a Part of the 2024 WNORTH Conference Program

We’ve designed a new conference session where the spotlight is on our Members to take center stage to share their expertise and stories.

Each WTalk session will feature a Pecha Kucha inspired talk that Conference-registered WNORTH Members will have the opportunity to apply to be a part of. The talks will be presented in person at the 2024 WNORTH Conference between May 8-10 in Whistler and recorded as a part of the virtual program following the event.

Each speaker will be paired with a Speaking Mentor who will support the journey to sharing their story.

In early 2024, we will send out a call for WTalks registration to all Members who have registered for the Conference.
