UBC Okanagan Student’s Union Breaking Boundaries conference

KELOWNA – The Students' Union at UBC Okanagan (UBCSUO) is proud to announce one of the most important conferences for women in the Okanagan to date.

As a celebration of International Women's Day and with multiple on-campus partners including the UBCO Equity and Inclusion office and student resource centres, we are confident that this event will be an enormous success.

Breaking Boundaries is a conference for women, students, and community members to come together to network, collaborate, and inspire one another. Join us on International Women's Day to celebrate the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women in our community and around the world.

Our goal for this conference is to facilitate a space where success can be cultivated through networking and mentorship, to create an environment where interaction and connection is encouraged, and to develop a mindset where inspiration and collaboration are at the forefront.

We encourage all women in our community to sign up while tickets last or if you can't make it and you'd like to sponsor someone else's, ticket, we encourage that too.
