Big crowd. Fantastic speakers. The entire event was so polished!
Tanya CurtisMarketing DirectorAbbotsford HighstreetThe 2017 EXCELerate Conference exceeded my expectations. The plenary sessions alone were worth the fee … the level of speakers gathered— and their synergy—was absolutely brilliant. Regarding the break-out sessions: Ann Gomez’s session, ‘Focus Your Time to GroYourBiz: Personal Productivity for Busy People’, blew my socks off with its relevance and practical applications. Her book, ‘The Email Warrior’, is easy to read and the tips within it are easy to implement. Wow!
Click Media WorksWe are all connected with an innate desire to support each other business to grow to their full potential.
Cathleen Jamieson AWE CareWhat captivated me the most was stories, stories of the speakers, the delegates, the businesses, the products….The journeys that have brought them to this point. The challenges, the trials, struggles, successes, along their way, made up who they are as much as their perseverance, their belief in themselves, their “just do it” –ism.

Thoroughly enjoyed the conference and learnt so much from amazing thought leaders, high quality panel speakers. It is refreshing to see that as we continue to grow as women entrepreneurs we are impacting the quality of lives of ours, our family and the community at large. Thank you for putting together an exceptional conference that can have a far larger reach in the future. It was definitely worth the long distance travel and excited to grow GroYourBiz in the UK.
Claris CoachingThe speakers, panelists, food, and gala were all superb. I have learned so much and have so many ideas that I can implement today to help grow my business.
As women we need to celebrate our success and accept the compliments that come with that success without guilt.
