The Winnipeg Women’s Conference has been a labour of love for a few years leading up to the first inaugural event in March 2022. The event was held at the Winnipeg Art Gallery and utilized the entire building to facilitate the Conference which hosted 319 women. Christine Thiessen, founder and chair of the event developed the concept for the Conference several years ago while attending another conference. The key piece missing for her at the time was the ability to listen to topics that were relevant to individuals versus one general message. In September 2020 right amid the Covid-19 pandemic she started to plan the Conference. Over the course of 18 months, the entire lineup of the Conference was developed which included sponsorship, committee roles, marketing, speaker lineups and most importantly selling tickets. The largest challenge they had at the outset was simply getting the word out to the public, however with a dedicated team, an incredible lineup of speakers and the promise of an experience not to be forgotten they did just that. The Conference sold out and was a huge success.
