SUMMARY:Her Story Competition
DESCRIPTION:Join us on November 18\, 2021\, for the inaugural HerStory 2021 Competition featuring 30 inspiring women-identifying entrepreneurs who will be sharing their stories in front of a panel of Champions looking to invest. \nIncluding special guest speakers from across Canada’s entrepreneurial and investment ecosystem\, HerStory is a national virtual event that will spark a movement focused on diversifying the investing and founder landscape. \nWhat to expect: \nHerStory participants will take turns sharing their stories with the audience and our panel of Champions. Each participant will have a couple of minutes to answer questions from the Champions that will dig deeper into participants’ journeys\, and then later\, as the Champions deliberate\, we’ll have a fireside chat with a special surprise guest! \nAttendees are highly encouraged to stay for the entire duration of the event to give each woman the audience she deserves for her narrative. \nOn November 18\, 2021\, we hope you’ll join us in cheering on and championing these founders as they share their stories of entrepreneurship and their journey to founding their company. \nWhy HerStory? \nStudies have shown what women entrepreneurs and investors have known for decades: traditional pitch competitions consistently fail women. HerStory is quite literally flipping the script. By leading with narrative and encouraging a relatable\, honest and intuitively woman-centred approach to information\, connection and business building\, we’re challenging the traditional pitch model and spurring innovation. HerStory amplifies a diversity of voices and connects modern entrepreneurs with appropriate investors\, increasing the likelihood of women accessing pathways to success. \nFor more information visit: https://the51.com/herstory

SUMMARY:2021 BANFF HERSTORY COMPETITION
DESCRIPTION:HerStory is a story-telling competition that invites women and women-identifying entrepreneurs to tell a panel of champions from various industries who they are\, how they came to their idea and why investing in them will bring innovation\, value and impact: both to their industry and to the future of more equitable access to Canadian capital. \nStudies have shown what women entrepreneurs and investors have known for decades: traditional pitch competitions consistently fail women. HerStory is quite literally flipping the script. By leading with narrative and encouraging a relatable\, honest and intuitively woman-centred approach to information\, connection and business building\, we’re challenging the traditional pitch model and spurring innovation. HerStory amplifies a diversity of voices and connects modern entrepreneurs with appropriate investors\, increasing the likelihood of women accessing pathways to success. \nThe submission deadline for the 2021 Banff HerStory Competition has been extended to Friday\, August 13\, 2021 at 11:59 PM Mountain Time. \nAPPLY NOW \nApplications for Inventures Startup Pitch are now closed.

SUMMARY:Sobey Art Awards - Event at AGA
DESCRIPTION:Sobey Art Award\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDiscover the shortlisted artists for the 2019 Sobey Art Award! \nStephanie Comilang\, Nicolas Grenier\, Kablusiak\, Anne Low and D’Arcy Wilson are this year’s shortlisted artists. \nEstablished in 2002\, the Sobey Art Award aims to promote new developments in contemporary Canadian art and provide opportunities for artists\, bringing them national and international attention. \nThe program represents a total commitment of more than $650\,000 CA annually. This year it will present $240\,000 in prize money — including a top prize of $100\,000 for the winner. Each of the four finalists will receive $25\,000\, and the other longlisted artists will receive $2\,000 each. In addition to monetary awards\, three artists from the longlist will be selected by the jury to take part in the Sobey Art Award Residencies Program. Finally\, one shortlisted artist will be selected by Fogo Island Arts to attend an annual residency. \n\n\n\nChampions of Art in Canada: the 2018 Sobey Art Award\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChris Hampton\n\n\n\n\nNovember 14\, 2018\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor one evening at the beginning of October\, in the Austrian birthplace of Mozart and home of the popular von Trapp family\, Canadian art was the talk of the Salzburger Kunstverein. Although the local members of the public and the group of European journalists present might not know Whitehorse from Winnipeg\, they gathered to hear Josée Drouin-Brisebois\, Senior Curator of Contemporary Art at the National Gallery of Canada and Chair of the 2018 Sobey Art Award\, discuss the practices of the five Canadian artists selected from regions across the country as finalists for one of Canada’s richest and most prestigious art awards. \nOne focus of Drouin-Brisebois’ presentation was the growing role of such art prizes within curatorial work and among cultural institutions looking to help develop the profile of their artists beyond national borders. This was of particular interest to the audience at the Kunstverein\, one of Austria’s oldest art galleries of contemporary art. “Maybe the best way to draw greater attention to Canadian artists is by also giving them greater visibility outside of Canada\, by increasing their international presence\,” Drouin-Brisebois commented back in Ottawa. “What kinds of opportunities could that lead to?” \n2019 SOBEY ART AWARD GALA  \nRob Sobey\, Chair\, Sobey Art Foundation; Catherine Crowston\, Executive Director and Chief Curator of the Art Gallery of Alberta; Françoise E.

SUMMARY:IWF Global Leadership Conference
DESCRIPTION:2019 IWF World Leadership Conference – Toronto\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration for the 2019 World Leadership Conference in Toronto\, November 13-15\, is now open. We encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to join IWF members from across the globe to examine the past\, experience the present\, and envision the future with Open Minds. \nToronto is the epicenter of a cultural shift happening throughout Canada. As one of the most diverse cities in the world\, its history\, geography\, people\, their knowledge and their aspirations converge to create this trendsetting metropolis. \nWith Toronto as our stage and renowned experts in the room\, we will explore the cutting edge: culturally\, intellectually\, technologically and economically. \nFrom the benefits and challenges of artificial intelligence to the business to be made in cannabis\, from the modern definition of monopoly to how we approach sexual identity\, this year’s topics are diverse and complex. During Ideas Remaking the World\, three IWF members will once again share their plans to disrupt the status quo. For the Town Hall\, IWF In Action\, IWF members will discuss refugees and ways we can help solve this global problem with local solutions and individual action.C
