MARGARET ATWOOD TO HEADLINE THE INAUGURAL AURA SUMMIT IN VANCOUVER

A new iconic global experience centred on women’s empowerment launches May 29, 2027, with plans to expand to Toronto, New York and beyond

VANCOUVER, BC — August 20th, 2027 — Aura Summit, a new iconic global experience centred on women’s empowerment, will launch in Vancouver on May 29, 2027, with internationally acclaimed author and cultural icon Margaret Atwood confirmed as its inaugural keynote.

Atwood will join Aura for an intimate fireside conversation, bringing her extraordinary perspective on literature, culture, creativity, women and the changing world to the inaugural gathering.

Aura is being created as something much larger than a traditional summit. At its heart is a mission to hold space for the brightest minds to come together for real, open and meaningful conversations — with the hope that what begins in one room can create impact in rooms and spaces around the world for years to come.

Created by Vancouver-based entrepreneur and wellness leader Dani Hébert, Aura brings together extraordinary women and the people who support and champion them across culture, leadership, wellness, creativity, business and beyond.

While women are at the heart of Aura, the experience is open to everyone who wants to be part of the conversation.

FROM VANCOUVER TO THE WORLD

Aura will launch in Vancouver before expanding to Toronto in Autumn 2027 and New York in March 2028, with Los Angeles, London, Europe and additional international destinations to follow.

The vision is to build Aura into an iconic global platform for meaningful conversation, connection and exceptional experiences, with each gathering shaped by its city, its community and the extraordinary people who come together within it.
