Such an incredible event – it felt like three days of a big warm hug. I made some wonderful contacts, gained invaluable knowledge, and was incredibly inspired by all of the talented women that all want to leave the planet a little better than they found it.

Andrea OberdieckSauder School of BusinessThe 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!

Wow what a powerful three days of speakers, workshops, networking and collaboration.
GroYourBiz Surrey/White RockThe 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.
There is no question that this was once again one of the most captivating conferences that I have attended—with not only one good idea—but many. It is wonderful how the panels all have different points of view that foster challenging perhaps our previous opinions or at the very least give us more information to have an informed opinion. Our team thought it was time well spent indeed!
