   Rising Economy 2026 is Greater Victoria’s largest multi-sector business conference, designed for entrepreneurs, innovators, business owners, public leaders and community builders.
   With the theme of “Activating Possibility,” this year’s conference is a lively, idea-rich gathering featuring fast-paced Spark Talks, Power Panels and interactive sessions that explore how leadership, AI and tech, workplace trends and global shifts are impacting us. 
   The agenda blends insight with energy, from rapid-fire innovation sessions with emerging companies to candid “Ask Me Anything” conversations, including one with the mayors of Victoria, Saanich, Sidney and View Royal.
   Attendees will hear from economists, innovators, founders, CEOs and civic leaders on topics ranging from Canada’s pivot in a fragmenting global order to avoiding obsolescence in the age of AI. Featured speakers include: Judith Bosire, Chief Economist, Vancity; Jason Morehouse, CEO, HiBoop; Tinka Robev, CEO, Puzzle Lab;  Justin Young, Owner, Canadian Tire; Ian Chisholm, Author, Quiet Champions; Mike Vardy, Author and Productivity Strategist, and many more.

   Three Victoria artists present Writ Large - Contemporary Works on Paper
   
   Three Victoria artists draw on their pasts as professional writers and editors to exhibit a collection of large-format works inspired by the emotional and intellectual energy of written language.
   Georgina Montgomery, Louise Oborne, and MaryLou Wakefield use words and text as part of their visual language to amplify a compelling idea, question, or life experience personally meaningful to them.
   In this series, the artists demonstrate their individual stylistic approaches to interpreting 'Writ Large' and invite viewers to find their own meaning and interpretation in the works.
   Writ Large will be on at arc.hive artist run centre October 4 - 19 and open for viewing Saturdays and Sundays from 12 - 4 pm.
   An opening reception with the artists in attendance will be on Friday, October 3, from 7 - 9 pm.
