Our signature International Events are an annual favourite and an opportunity to meet Western alumni around the world. Applications to these trips open throughout the year exclusively for WCM members. Events are subject to change given COVID-19. Where possible, we will aim to have events in-person, with virtual events as a contingency.

About Our Empower Summit
Our Empower Summit, now in its fifth year, aims to expose underrepresented minorities in finance to professionals already working in the industry and break any pre-conceived notions and misconceptions about building a career in finance.
The event serves as an introduction for any underrepresented minority considering finance, aiming to develop this interest while building practical technical skills. The conference includes guest speakers from various firms and backgrounds, workshops, networking mixers and more.
