Where Visionary Voices and Global Dialogue Meet
Applications are now open for women presenters for Aura Global Summit 2027 in Vancouver and Toronto, as we prepare for expansion to New York and Los Angeles in 2028.
Curating the Voices of Aura
Aura Collective brings together visionary leaders, founders, investors, policymakers, creatives, and emerging voices who are shaping the future of leadership, innovation, and systemic change.
We believe the next era of leadership will be interdisciplinary, human-centered, and grounded in collaboration. Our presenters represent diverse perspectives and industries, creating meaningful dialogue across business, wellness, technology, culture, capital, and policy.
Through our global thought leadership series and the Aura Global Summit launching in Vancouver in March 2027, followed by Toronto in October 2027, we are building a platform to amplify bold ideas, foster strategic connection, and accelerate progress.
We are currently curating a global community of presenters and contributors who are committed to advancing equity, expanding access to opportunity, and reimagining leadership for the next generation.
If you are interested in presenting, collaborating, or nominating a visionary voice, we would love to connect.
