NEW: Be A DisruptHER

Cobourg | Updated: March 28, 2024 11:03 PM
NEW: Be A DisruptHER

Location: Cobourg Community Centre

Address: 750 D'Arcy Street, Cobourg, ON K9A 0G1

Date: 19 Oct

The brainchild of Northumberland County entrepreneurs, Signe Langford (Port Hope Makers’ Market) and Maria Papaioannoy (Northumberland Women), NEW invites you to be inspired by some of the smartest, most vibrant and creative women from Northumberland County and beyond. 

Shop women-owned businesses in our marketplace; relax and indulge in tasty treats at our in-house cafe; and engage in workshops, panel discussions, and talks with the dynamic women - from financial advisors to writers and everything in between! - who make this county tick. For two enlightening days we’ll shine a spotlight on women entrepreneurs, business leaders, knowledge keepers, artisans, culinary professionals, and more.

NEW made its debut in 2023 with the theme: “Put You First”. It’s something many women struggle with, so we created an event to put all women first. And did we ever! Over the weekend, some 500 women attended, enjoying talks on women in local politics, hormone wellness, financial empowerment, real estate, family law, midwifery, cannabis and women’s health, and so much more! 

The feedback was great and the refrain we heard over and over was: “You’re doing this again next year, right?” You bet!  

So, welcome to NEW 2024, with this year’s theme: “Be a DisruptHER”! 

We’re already hard at work planning an even better event, in a bigger venue - Cobourg Community Center - with more vendors in the marketplace and another stellar line-up of speakers, facilitators, and educators. So, save the date: October 19th and 20th, 2024 and we’ll see YOU at NEW! 

Here’s what a few women had to say about NEW ‘23: 

“What a wonderful event!! I had a great time, can't wait till next year! Thank you for all the work that went into making it the success it was!” - Lori

“So wonderful to see, hear, speak, and connect to so many incredible women this weekend!! Thank you for all your hard work putting this together for all! - Jas 

“Thank you Signe and Maria for creating such a stellar weekend event! And thanks to all the speakers, volunteers, artists, and vendors for making it so interesting and memorable! Kudos all round!” - Christine

“Congratulations on a smashing success! You should be proud! Thank you for all your time and energy spent building this event!” - Jen
