Upcoming Events

From Awareness to Action

VirtualFebruary 18, 2026 at 1:00 PM

Psychological safety for women in manufacturing isn’t just a women’s issue, it’s a signal of whether your workplace is truly safe, inclusive, and high performing. When women feel heard, respected, and supported, the whole team benefits. This series explores how gendered experiences shape safety and trust at work and how employers can shift culture, not just policy.

Roundtable and Facility Tour

Calgary, ABFebruary 23, 2026 at 8:00 AM

Join Calgary manufacturers on for a high-value morning focused on Aerospace & Defence. Start with relaxed networking then shift into a peer-driven roundtable where you can compare notes on what’s working right now – quality expectations, certification pathways, supply chain realities, quoting strategy, capacity planning, and how shops are positioning to win higher-value work. We’ll wrap with an inside look at Levy’s operations through a facility tour, giving you practical takeaways you can bring back to your own floor.
