FOUNDING INDUSTRY PARTNER
The BANFF Spark Accelerator for Women in the Business of Media is a program designed to address the systemic gap in gender equality and representation by providing market access, training, and networking opportunities, to help build and scale up significantly more Canadian women-owned businesses.
The goal of the program is to accelerate individual careers by providing business guidance and a gateway to the Canadian and global film and television industry through the renowned Banff World Media Festival's (BANFF) conference and marketplace and its suite of customized workshops, networking, mentorship, and market access opportunities and resources.
BANFF Spark has so far supported 200 women entrepreneurs championing diversity at its core, by empowering women of color, Indigenous women, women with disabilities, LGBTQ2S+ women, and non-binary individuals to advance both domestically, and across the global media industry.
