​WNORTH Connect Dinner at The Gathering: An intimate dinner for women shaping brands, business & culture.

​Join WNORTH in Banff for an intimate evening of conversation and connection during The Gathering, Canada’s premier festival for marketers, creators, founders and business leaders.

​Hosted by Heather Odendaal, Founder & CEO of WNORTH, this dinner will bring together a curated group of senior women leaders, marketers, founders and executives from across industries.

​Because some of the most valuable conversations at a conference don't happen on stage. They happen around the table.

​Over a family-style dinner, you'll have the opportunity to connect with women shaping brands, leading organizations, building businesses and influencing what comes next.

​Expect thoughtful conversation, new perspectives and introductions that go beyond the usual conference networking. We'll provide a few prompts to get the conversation started, then let the room take it from there.

​This dinner is designed for:

• ​Senior marketing, brand and communications leaders

• ​Executives and business leaders

• ​Founders and entrepreneurs

• ​WNORTH Members attending The Gathering

• ​Women looking to build meaningful relationships across industries

​Space is intentionally limited to keep the evening intimate and the conversations valuable.
