Advance: Women in Manufacturing Breakfast

For the past several years, Annex Business Media’s manufacturing media brands have come together to host the Advance: Women in Manufacturing virtual summit, promoting gender equity, diversity, and inclusion in Canadian manufacturing.

This year, we are changing things up.

On May 6, 2026, we invite you to join us, in-person, in Toronto for the Advance: Women in Manufacturing Breakfast.

Running from 7:30am to 12:00pm, this networking, educational and mentoring event will bring together industry leaders, innovators, and changemakers to share knowledge, celebrate achievements, and build lasting networks. The program will feature a keynote session, interactive discussions that encourage participation and learning, and the presentation of three awards recognizing outstanding contributions to advancing women in manufacturing.

Advance: Women in Manufacturing is more than an event – it is an opportunity to learn from each other, celebrate each other, and accelerate action toward a more inclusive and diverse manufacturing industry.
