Elevate Her Conference 2026

The Elevate Her Conference returns for its 4th annual gathering—bringing together Black women leaders, entrepreneurs, creatives, and change-makers from across British Columbia and beyond. This year, we are re-imagining the conference experience as an elegant evening event designed to spark connection, inspiration, and collective power.
