The CWE Industry Gala is dedicated to inspiring and empowering the next generation of women entrepreneurs to transform their visions into powerful brands that drive meaningful impact. By celebrating North America's largest brands for their contributions to social and economic progress, we set the stage for founders and entrepreneurs to learn from excellence and innovation.

Our mission goes beyond recognition—we create pathways to opportunity. Through curated connections, access to funded programs, and exclusive opportunities to engage with powerful leaders, we equip women entrepreneurs with the tools, social capital, and inspiration needed to break barriers and lead boldly. Together, we’re shaping a future where women-led ventures thrive and redefine the entrepreneurial landscape.​

​

The CWE's awards program is a prestigious industry event experience that recognizes and honours Canada's leading companies' influential programs, campaigns, and CSR initiatives that have paved the way for a more equal and diverse ecosystem for women in business. 

 

The event connects successful women in business, agencies, influencers, aspiring entrepreneurs, creators and media in one place to take groundbreaking action to advance businesses and their leaders forward.
