Re.Frame - a TEDxWomen’s event
Saturday, March 14, 2026
Kay Meek Arts Centre, West Vancouver
Re.Frame brings together speakers with powerful ideas worth sharing - stories that challenge assumptions, spark fresh thinking, and expand what feels possible.
This year’s theme invites us to shift the lens: to turn limitation into possibility, fear into courage, and silence into voice. Through talks rooted in resilience, innovation, and reinvention, you’ll hear how a single change in perspective can reshape not only how we see the world, but how we move through it.
Join us for an afternoon of ideas, connection, and conversation, and experience what becomes possible when we choose to see life Re.Framed.
Thank you for your support!
