Women in Creative Industries: Connect, Chat & Find Your People | Toronto

A relaxed Saturday afternoon for women in Toronto’s creative industries to connect, share experiences, and have real conversations about car

Looking for women in Toronto’s creative industry who just get it?

Join The Galhood for an intimate afternoon of conversation, connection, and community with women working across Toronto’s creative industries.

Whether you’re a designer, writer, marketer, photographer, content creator, PR professional, social media manager, filmmaker, entrepreneur, freelancer, or work somewhere in between, this is a space to meet other women navigating the creative world.

There are no panels, presentations, or awkward networking games. Instead, we’re creating a small, relaxed roundtable where you can talk honestly, share experiences, ask questions, and make connections that go beyond exchanging LinkedIn profiles.

We’ll talk about the things that don’t always make it onto your portfolio or resume, including:

• Finding and building your creative community
• Navigating clients, colleagues, and creative partnerships
• Pricing your work and knowing your value
• Freelancing and building your own business
• Creative burnout and maintaining boundaries
• Figuring out your next career move
• Building a career that actually feels like yours
• The highs, lows, and realities of working in a creative industry

The conversation will be facilitated by Parul Yadav, co-founder of The Galhood and founder of North Wave Media, with the goal of creating a space that feels warm, candid, inclusive, and genuinely useful.

This event is for you if you:

• Work in a creative, media, marketing, communications, design, or related field
• Are freelancing, running a business, or building something of your own
• Are early in your career and looking to meet women who have been there
• Have a few years of experience and want fresh perspectives or new connections
• Are looking to expand your professional network without the pressure of traditional networking
• Simply want to meet more women in Toronto who understand the creative career journey

Space is intentionally limited.

The Galhood events are designed to feel more like a room full of people you actually want to talk to than a traditional networking event.

Come as you are. Bring your questions, your stories, your current career dilemma, or simply yourself.

You never know which conversation might turn into your next collaborator, mentor, friend, client, or opportunity.
