About this Event

The past couple of months have forced us all to reconsider our business strategies in the new COVID economy.

We believe it’s important to connect and share ideas as we move forward. That’s why we’ve created WE-CAN’s first-ever Virtual Café event for women entrepreneurs.

Virtual Cafe is an online discussion group to share thoughts, ideas, tools and solutions as we build a positive community of women entrepreneurs in the greater Kingston region.

Join us for our first session on June 23rd at 10 a.m. where we’ll discuss the question “How has your marketing approach evolved in response to COVID-19?”

We’d love to hear YOUR thoughts and ideas on this specific challenge.

During this one-hour session, we’ll be exploring the following:

• What new marketing challenges you’ve faced since COVID-19 began?
• How have you pivoted your marketing strategy?
• What marketing tools have been the most useful to you during this time?
• What new marketing opportunities have emerged?
• Are there any marketing mistakes you've made that we can all learn from?

Note: This is not a sales forum, so please avoid promoting your own business and services during the Virtual Café. At the same time, we welcome your expertise, insights and ideas.

PLUS JUST FOR FUN! Bring along your favourite mug to the Virtual Café, and post a photo of yourself participating to social media (be sure to tag @WeCAnQueensU. We’d love to share your post on our Instagram stories! We'll even be doing a group Zoom photo, for you to share with your friends and colleagues.

We’ll be using the hashtag #WECANVirtualCafe for this online event.

Attendees will be emailed a Zoom link to the online session the day before the event.

We hope to see you there!
