Keynote Speaker - Barb Stegemann, CEO and Founder of The 7 Virtues

• Stegemann became known to millions of Canadians when she became the first woman from Atlantic Canada to land a venture-capital deal on the CBC TV show Dragons’ Den —for The 7 Virtues Beauty. She went on to become the "Top Game Changer" in the history of the popular reality show for creating her social enterprise. She is a graduate of the Sephora Accelerate Cohort where she developed her new contemporary line, which inspired the global beauty giant to create a new Clean & Conscious space in their USA stores.

Fragrances from The 7 Virtues line and Barb's bestselling book, The 7 Virtues of a Philosopher Queen, will be available for purchase at the event.
