Our October MAWB MeetUp at the Meadowvale Community Centre was another amazing morning of learning, connection, and community! The energy in the room was filled with laughter, collaboration, and inspiration as women entrepreneurs came together to support one another in both life and business.

💻 Featured Speaker: Sharon King – Digital Marketing by Design
Following the spotlights, we heard from our featured speaker, Sharon King, a talented web designer and digital marketing expert who presented “Launch Your Website with Confidence.”
Sharon’s presentation broke down what can often feel like an overwhelming process into four simple building blocks:
- Domain Names – Your website’s digital address; keep it short, memorable, and true to your brand.
- Web Hosting – Where your site “lives” online; choose based on your needs, support level, and comfort with tech.
- SSL Certificates – Essential for online security and building trust with visitors.
- Website Builders – Tools like WordPress, Wix, or Squarespace that make it easy to create and manage your website.
She also shared common mistakes to avoid, such as not owning your domain or neglecting backups, and encouraged everyone to take small, intentional steps rather than waiting for perfection. Her message was clear: Progress over perfection!
Attendees loved Sharon’s calm, practical approach — especially her advice to “keep it simple and memorable” and to build with confidence, not fear. Download her free guide here.
📱 Tech Tips: Stay Connected Beyond the MeetUp
To keep the connections flowing long after the event, we shared two simple Tech Tips:
- LinkedIn QR Code – Open your LinkedIn app, tap your profile icon, and select the small QR symbol. This generates your personal QR code — perfect for quick, professional networking without exchanging cards.
- Instagram QR Code – On your Instagram profile, tap the menu (☰), select “QR Code,” and let others scan it to follow you instantly.
These simple tools make networking smoother and help you stay connected with new friends, clients, and collaborators from the MAWB community.
💕 Looking Ahead
Our next MAWB MeetUp is happening on Tuesday, November 19th, and we can’t wait to do it all again — new spotlights, fresh insights, and another opportunity to connect with incredible women entrepreneurs.
If you missed October’s event, don’t worry — November is your chance to experience the magic of MAWB for yourself.
Stay tuned for details, and get ready to network, learn, and be inspired!
