Beyond Pink
introduction
Revamped, re-energized but not any less exciting, Beyond Pink returns as the unique, high-impact conference that it has always been.
Beyond Pink is a two day conference aimed at providing real world skills that are applicable to individuals from all walks of life. We aim to discover and strengthen each delegate’s talents to help them “make their own brand and leave their mark” as their story continues.
Beyond Pink features new events such as the Power Couple Panel and shot-gun case competition, and a few past favourites including the mentor dinner and tradeshow.

new this year
This year, the Beyond Pink team is putting forth a few new initiatives to create an unparalleled conference experience.
“New to the Game”
Power Couple Panel & Networking Brunch: Lets do… brunch! This year, Beyond Pink is offering you an interactive Power Couple Panel session. You will hear about the pros and cons that arise from this relationship, and you will also have the opportunity to submit questions of your own to dig a little deeper. The panel will be followed by a brunch at Subeez Cafe where delegates will have the chance to network amongst one another.
Case Competition: In what we call our “shot-gun” case competition, you will be placed in a small group with fellow delegates to put your skills to the test in order to solve a real-life case.
“Old Favourites”
Entre-Carnival: Beyond Pink’s annual tradeshow back with a twist! With this years carnival theme, the tradeshow will be more interactive than ever before. Featuring 40 of Vancouver’s most outstanding female entrepreneurs, the tradeshow is an exciting opportunity to explore different paths, listen to stories of success, and connect with local entrepreneurs who have experienced the rough ride of being just that… an entrepreneur.
Mentor Dinner: A blue moon is rare. An opportunity to sit down to dinner with established leaders in the community is even more so. The Mentor Dinner will give you the opportunity to pick your mentor’s brain about the ins and outs of making it. Continue your conversation with your mentor at the lounge night event after dinner.
Silent Auction & Gala: The Silent Auction will provide you with an opportunity to bid not only on items, but also 1 on 1 time with some of the speakers and mentors that you met during the conference. The Gala will allow delegates to give one last hurrah! to celebrate each other, as well as women leaders of the past, present, and future.
The two day conference will be segmented into two themes – Make Your Brand, Leave Your Mark!. BP! speakers will share stories and insights from each of these themes.
