During a speech at the event, Drake said he was inspired by a women’s networking event he attended in the early 2000s.

“There was an event by a lovely woman. She used to do an event called What Women Want. It was essentially women gathering to network, to socialise, and to be a man at the event, you had to work. I always loved that aspect of it.”

He said the aim of the evening was to bring together women from different industries.

“All of you who are doing incredible things in your respective fields… We hope that you can be social, talk to each other, learn from each other, and we have an incredible evening for you. We’ll do some giveaways and hopefully change some lives.”

The annual event is now in its third year and has become one of Drake’s signature gatherings in Toronto, recognising women including entrepreneurs, creators and business owners.
