About the Event
Join us on the evening of March 11, 2026, for InspireHER 2026, Women in Aerospace Canada’s signature International Women’s Day celebration.
This event welcomes all professionals — women, men, and allies across the aerospace and advanced manufacturing sectors.
This year’s event builds on the incredible momentum of our 2025 IWD program. If you were part of last year’s event, you already know you won’t want to miss this one—and if you’re joining us for the first time, get ready for an unforgettable evening that celebrates leadership, equity, and the future of aerospace in Canada.
Hosted at the Living Arts Centre in Mississauga, InspireHER 2026, with the support of our hosting sponsor Invest Mississauga, will bring together women, men, allies, and students for an inspiring evening of connection and conversation within Canada’s aerospace community.
Enjoy an evening featuring keynote speakers, an executive panel, tech booths, a LinkedIn headshot station, and purposeful networking over dinner and drinks!
