Vancouver, Canada, November 15, 2014 --(PR.com)-- As part of Global Entrepreneurship week, Canadian Women in Communications and Technology (WCT) the national association dedicated to advancing women in communications and tech, will take part in a worldwide celebration of female entrepreneurs.
WCT BC and partners, BCTIA, Futurpreneur and ACETECH will come together on November 19th, 2014 to celebrate Women’s Entrepreneurship Day (WED), a new initiative from Global Entrepreneurship Week (GWE) dedicated to honouring, supporting and empowering the women who are making significant contributions to the global economy.

I hope women from all sectors and industries will join us on Nov.19th in support of local female entrepreneurs.”
WED will take place from 5:30pm to 8:00pm at the Steamworks Uber Lounge located at 375 Water Street, Vancouver BC. Tickets start at $30. Appetizers will be included with the cost of the ticket. For more information about the event, please visit: https://wedvancouver.eventbrite.ca
