Sparkle Entrepreneur Network

Stop Networking. Start Connecting.

Finally, networking events that don't make you want to hide in the bathroom or leave you with a purse full of business cards without any meaningful connections.

While everyone else is playing the numbers game at massive networking events, we're doing something radically different: creating exclusive gatherings where female entrepreneurs actually connect, collaborate, and build real relationships.

What Makes Us Different

Intimate by Design

8-20 women max. Every event. Because meaningful conversations happen when everyone has space to be heard.

Authentic Connection Over Business Cards

No elevator pitches. No forced small talk. Just real conversations between women who understand the entrepreneurial journey.

Community, Not Competition

We believe when one woman wins, we all win. Our members become each other's biggest cheerleaders, collaborators, and referral partners.

Who This Is For

Female entrepreneurs in Calgary (ages 20-59) who are:

• Tired of surface-level networking that leads nowhere
• Ready for genuine connections with like-minded women
• Building businesses but feeling isolated in the journey
• Looking for community that celebrates authenticity over performance

What to Expect

Before the Event: Clear communication about what to expect. Follow us at @sparkleentrepreneurnetwork on Instagram and join the YYC Sparkle Entrepreneur Network Facebook Group to learn more about what we are all about.

During the Event: Structured, but relaxed format that encourages organic conversations and meaningful connection. We weren't kidding when we said networking that gives off dinner with friends energy.

After the Event: Make sure you shared your contact information through our form so the lovely ladies you met at the event can stay in touch post event. No more awkward what is your phone number or Instagram mess at the end of an event. No more follow trains, you get to choose who you connect with. Sign up for the next event you are able to continue to meet and make genuine deep connections with many female entrepreneurs in our city.

Your Investment

Our events are priced to ensure committed attendees who value quality connections. When you invest in yourself, you show up differently.

The Result?

Members don't just exchange business cards—they become business partners, collaborators, and lifelong friends. They leave energized, inspired, and with their phones full of numbers they'll actually use.

What women say after leaving our events:

• "I had a great time! Loved the intimate setting which allowed for such meaningful connections."- J
• "Loved it, looking forward to attending more and meeting more like-minded women! So helpful to know I am not alone"- M
• "It was amazing to hear each other and everyone's voices and stories. I also loved the supportive environment with so much encouragement to go after my dream"- J
