Her Wealth Summit: Vancouver’s Day of Financial Empowerment

Consider this your personal invitation to an extraordinary day dedicated to empowering women to live the financial life they are meant to live. Her Wealth Summit, a non-profit society focused on the financial betterment of women, is bringing a full-scale financial empowerment conference to Vancouver on Saturday, September 20, 2025, at The Vancouver Club. From sunrise coffee to the post-summit soirée, this is an immersive experience designed to educate, inspire, and connect.

WHY THIS SUMMIT MATTERS RIGHT NOW

Women are the fastest growing wealth segment, yet confidence around finances has not kept pace. The Her Wealth Summit is changing the conversation about women and wealth by putting practical knowledge, real-world tools, and community front and centre. Throughout the day, delegates will move through keynotes, breakout sessions, on-site activations, and interactive resources that turn complex topics into clear next steps. Expect robust learning across investment management, success leadership, entrepreneurship, trading, financial planning, insurance, tax and legacy planning, budgeting, legal considerations, money mindset, banking, real estate, wealth-life balance, and more.

HEADLINERS WHO DELIVER RESULTS

The summit’s keynote speaker is the uber-successful, recognizable, and widely respected Michele Romanow, a Dragon on CBC’s Dragons’ Den and the co-founder and Executive Chair of Clearco. A serial entrepreneur who launched six companies before age 35, Romanow helped build the world’s largest e-commerce investor, which has backed 10,000 entrepreneurs in 13 countries with over $5 billion. Named to Fortune’s “40 Under 40,” a World Economic Forum “Young Global Leader,” and honoured with RBC’s Women of Influence Innovation Award, Romanow brings a rare blend of vision, velocity, and tested strategies to the stage. Her keynote is available to Diamond passholders only, and it will be a highlight worth planning your day around.

The day will be hosted by media icon and live-shopping expert Dawn Chubai. With more than two decades in broadcast television and electronic retailing, and over $30 million in direct on-air sales, Dawn has mastered the art of clear communication and confident presence. Through her Live Selling School, she equips entrepreneurs and brands to thrive in today’s social commerce world. Her energy will keep the day moving, and her coaching-driven mindset will help you turn insights into action!
