Events Roundup
Nov. 12, 2026
This week, we're highlighting an event pick by Taproot co-founder Karen Unland. Karen recommends Greater Purpose Impact Circle: Business as Un-usual, for ways to connect, collaborate, and co-create a thriving local impact business community.
Greater Purpose Impact Circle: Business as Un-usual
📅 Thursday, Nov. 19 5:00 PM
📍 Brighton Block
A gathering of purpose-driven business leaders and professionals to explore how to co-create the local impact business community in new and needed ways.
Here's what Karen had to say:
"Edmonton is blessed with many purpose-led companies and social enterprises (including Taproot), and it will be good to get together, hear what everyone's up to, and see how we can help each other. Elli McDine of the Alberta 2SLGBTQI+ Chamber of Commerce and Kevin Gangel of Unstoppable Conversations will speak, as will I. Join us at the beautiful Brighton Block!"
