2023 TWA Conference September 8-10 Toronto, ONTARIO

Are you ready for ACTION?

Presenting this year’s IWC theme...

Hear that? That’s our cue to turn awareness into action. As women, we’re often handed narratives we didn’t write. Roles we didn’t ask to play. But not anymore - our stories will no longer be scripted. If the role doesn’t fit, we’ll take the lead. If the scene isn’t set, we’ll cause one. The lights are on us and the cameras are eager to capture history as we make it. We’re not reaching for the stars because we’re already among them. It’s our moment, and we’re ready for our close up.
