Canada-UK Leadership Summit

Canada-UK Chamber of Commerce in partnership with Chamber member WNORTH is organising a networking half day event on 9 December 2025 as part of a three-day, high-impact development program for senior-level women leaders from Canada, USA, UK, and beyond being held 8-10 Dec. The programme is designed to sharpen leadership skills, expand global perspectives, and deepen social impact, and this experience equips participants to return with actionable insights and stronger networks to accelerate growth within participants’ organisations. 20 participants will be travelling from Canada as part of this programme as well as being joined by other participants based in the UK including Chamber members and contacts.

ABOUT CANADA-UNITED KINGDOM CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

A powerful, collaborative, and historic community

Since our beginnings in 1921 as "The Canadian Chamber of Commerce in Great Britain," our objective has been consistent: to coordinate activities between Canada and the UK. In 1927 our Chamber was incorporated as a UK company and in 1970 our organisation's name permanently changed to the Canada-United Kingdom Chamber of Commerce. Today our Chamber is comprised of representatives and leaders from some of Canada and the UK’s most recognisable businesses. For over 100 years, we have prioritised meaningful introductions to encourage and foster business development - now and into the future.
