This special event is designed for local women who are eager to build meaningful relationships, support each other, and discover businesses that align with their values.
There’s nothing like being in a room full of supportive women who just get it. At Sip & Connect, you’ll find encouragement, inspiration, and belonging in an uplifting in-person space.
The interactive workshop, led by Jill and Nishma, will guide you through proven strategies for setting and achieving your goals with clarity and confidence.
Hi, we're Nishma and Jill - two high school buddies who have reunited to bring you Ottawa's best networking event for women just like us.
Starting our entrepreneurial journeys we saw a need for open, inclusive and modern events to host women in business. None of this old boys club - we were looking for events that felt like they were made for US.
Since we couldn't find any, we created one! And WOW was it successful! We are so thrilled to be able to bring so many incredible women together to connect - thank you for being a part of it all!
