ONE MONTH TO GO!

The countdown is officially on! In just 30 days, the Vanguard Impact Summit 2026 will bring together women from across North America for a day of learning, connection, and conversations that matter.

On November 12, we're bringing you:
✨ Experienced speakers sharing valuable insights and perspectives.
🛠️ Practical tools and strategies you can apply to your career, business, and everyday life.
💬 Interactive workshops and meaningful conversations.
🤝 Opportunities to build genuine professional connections.
🎯 A chance to turn what you've learned into an actionable 30-day plan.

We've designed this Summit around one important idea: professional development should work within your real life, not require ideal circumstances.

And now, we're just one month away from bringing it all together!

Happy Thanksgiving to our Canadian community! 🍁

As we celebrate Thanksgiving in Canada, we're especially grateful for the speakers, sponsors, partners, ambassadors, volunteers, and supporters who are helping bring this inaugural Summit to life. And to everyone who has already secured their ticket, thank you for being part of our very first year!

One month. One day. So many opportunities to learn, connect, and move forward.

We believe opportunities become more powerful when organizations work together to create greater access to them.

That’s why we’re excited to highlight Vanguard Impact’s partnership with the Capital Elle Business Impact Award, an initiative supporting women entrepreneurs through access, opportunity, and momentum.

With a $100,000+ prize package, the Award focuses on three areas where access can make a meaningful difference for women founders:
- Strategic Connections — opening doors to relationships, expertise and opportunities
- Growth Capital — helping founders navigate grants, financing, investment and capital planning
- Acquisition Opportunities — supporting women interested in growing through business acquisition

Each pillar winner receives $5,000 in cash, along with a year of curated support from experts connected to that area of growth.

And the benefits extend beyond the winners. Applicants receive access to a package of business perks and resources designed to provide value simply for participating.

As part of our partnership, every Capital Elle Business Impact Award applicant will also receive 10% off a Vanguard Impact Summit 2026 ticket.

It’s a natural connection between two initiatives working to help women move forward in practical ways.

At Vanguard Impact, we believe in meeting women where they are and providing tools, knowledge and connections they can use within the realities of their own careers and businesses. The Capital Elle Business Impact Award is creating another avenue for women entrepreneurs to access resources and opportunities that can help them take their next step.

If you’re a woman entrepreneur looking at what comes next for your business, we encourage you to learn more about the Award and find the pillar that reflects where greater access could make the biggest difference for you.

And to everyone who applies: we look forward to welcoming you to the Vanguard Impact community, with 10% off your Summit ticket. 💛
