​

Calgary Women in Energy is excited to present Allies in Energy 2023 Executive Forum. At the 2022 forum, we brought together a diverse panel of industry experts, who courageously shared their unique perspectives on shifting the paradigm with respect to biases, diversity, inclusion and equity as well as how they are intentionally carving a new path forward to change the face of energy.

​

Since we first started AIE in 2020, our world has changed dramatically – For this years’ forum we are inviting our panelists to speak on their experiences as leaders and the challenges they face as they solve our industry's most pressing issues. We will hear about their individual successes and how they've come to be in their current roles.

​

We're excited to dive deep into who these leaders are, what's important to them, what motivates them, and what gets them out of bed in the morning. They will speak to how they are making a difference in their respective organizations and communities. Join us for an interactive and engaging afternoon.
