2026 Annual Report Card: The Prosperity Project x Axis Connects

After years of investment in gender equity, why has progress stalled?

Join us for the official launch of The Prosperity Project’s 2026 Annual Report Card (ARC) on Gender Equity and Leadership. While overall representation of women in corporate leadership has reached a plateau, our latest findings uncover a critical reality: progress in the pipeline has stalled, and representation has declined for nearly every equity-deserving group.

It’s time to move past well-intentioned conversation and focus on real, measurable impact. This event convenes leaders to confront what separates organizations that continue driving systemic change from those that have hit a standstill.

Why Attend

      • Be the first to hear the 2026 results: Get an exclusive first look at the state of women’s leadership in Canadian organizations—including representation for Black, Indigenous, racialized women, and other equity-deserving groups.
      • Gain practical perspective from industry leaders: Hear from a panel of organizational leaders as they break down what the data means in practice, the challenges they are navigating, and the tangible steps they are taking to build cultures of inclusion and accountability.
      • Leave with action, not just information: Walk away with concrete strategies, practical ideas, and commitments you can bring back to your own organization to drive measurable change in intersectional leadership representation.
      • Connect with purpose-driven peers: Network with like-minded executives and changemakers who believe that equity and prosperity go hand-in-hand—and who are ready to move from words to impact.
