StrikeUP Viewing Party – Celebrating Women Entrepreneurs

Join us on February 27th for the StrikeUP Viewing Party, an inspiring event that celebrates women entrepreneurs, business leaders, and innovators. Hosted by Venture13 Innovation and Entrepreneurship Centre and the Northumberland Manufacturers’ Association (NMA), this event brings together like-minded individuals to foster collaboration and drive growth in our community.

This year, we are thrilled to welcome Jillian Harris, star of Love It or List It, who will share her insights and personal experiences on entrepreneurship, leadership, and building a successful brand. Jillian’s talk promises to inspire and empower women across all industries, providing valuable advice and motivation for those looking to grow their businesses.

StrikeUP has become a signature event, uniting over 4,600 women virtually in 2024, and over 90 local women joined us in Cobourg for last year’s viewing party. This year, we are looking to continue this tradition and make the experience even more impactful for our local community.

To ensure this event is a memorable one, we are seeking partners to help support key elements of the event, including:

• Catered lunch
• Wine & cheese reception
• Gift bags for attendees
• And much more!

If you’re interested in contributing or learning more about how you can be involved, please reach out to us directly. This is a wonderful opportunity to showcase your support for women-led businesses and innovation in Northumberland County.

Register now to secure your spot at this inspiring event!

If you’d like to contribute items for the gift bags or learn more about how you can be involved, please contact Tara Patterson at tpatterson@cobourg.ca.
