Shine Live is a three-day conference hosted by Chantelle Adams, a professional speaker whose passion is to help women share their stories and turn their “message into a movement.”

“I have a big passion for it (encouraging women to speak publically), we have a lot of male speakers which I love, but, we need more women’s voices on big stages sharing our messages,” said Adams.

The event welcomed nearly 150 women from not only across Canada, but the world, some hailing from as far as Australia to soak up the positive vibes, knowledge and build relationships while at the destination conference.

Over the course of the three days, the event boasted 18 influential speakers touching on a variety of topics from entrepreneurship, online business, self-love and more.

Aside from gaining business smarts, attendees had the opportunity to forge deep connections, share their stories, and practice courage by conquering their fears in a supportive environment.

At the end of the event, the ladies shared their own definition of courage, revelations they had over the three days and participated in a live flash mob in Stuart Park.
