Equal Voice is a national, multi-partisan organization that – since 2001 – has been advocating for the equal representation of women in Canada’s Parliament, legislatures, and on municipal and band councils. Their annual, high-profile event called Daughters of the Vote (DOV) is a 4-day bilingual conference aimed at exposing young delegates to Canada’s political institutions and the women serving in them. This important event began live in 2017 and is typically held in Ottawa to allow delegates to meet each other, MPs and Senators, and make connections that will inspire them to participate in politics.
The challenge: How to take a highly successful and engaging live conference and create a virtual experience that will bring delegates together to make meaningful, life-long connections?
