2026 PEIBWA Symposium

Mark your calendar for September 25, 2026, as women entrepreneurs, professionals, and leaders from across Prince Edward Island gather at the Delta Hotels by Marriott Prince Edward in Charlottetown for a day of inspiration, learning, and meaningful connection.

This year's PEIBWA Symposium will be our most impactful yet, featuring a trilogy of events designed to help attendees connect, learn, celebrate, and grow.

The experience begins on the evening of September 24 with a special kick-off networking event in Charlottetown, setting the stage for an energizing and unforgettable Symposium experience. Participants will unwind and take a break from entrepreneurship for an evening of reflective conversation, quality relationship-building, and for light hor d'oeuvres. 

On September 25, attendees will come together for a full day of engaging keynote presentations, practical learning opportunities, powerful stories, and valuable networking at the PEIBWA Symposium. Whether you're looking to gain fresh insights, spark new ideas, expand your network, or find inspiration for your next chapter, the PEIBWA Symposium offers something for every stage of your professional journey.

For the first time ever, PEIBWA is extending the experience with the debut of the CelebrateHER Social - an evening dedicated to celebrating the connections, community impact, and accomplishments of women in business. Inspired by PEIBWA's commitment to creating opportunities for women to thrive, this exciting new event offers a welcoming space to strengthen relationships, recognize achievements, and enjoy an evening of fun, community, and celebration.
