4th Annual Women in Leadership Conference & Networking Cocktail 

2020 Theme: Leading Forward

Google Campus for Startups

Monday, March 2, 2020 at 17h 
 

The IE Women in Business Club is thrilled to announce our 4th Annual Women in Leadership Conference. The half-day conference brings together students, alumni, faculty, and professionals from across the globe to discuss some of the most important issues affecting not only women in business, but the workplace in general.
 

WHAT IS IT? 

For the past 4 years, the IE Women in Business Club has proudly organized our Women in Leadership Conference. This year our theme is ‘Leading Forward’ and we will focus on how past experiences shape our future and how we can move forward to become better leaders in the future. The purpose of the conference is to empower our attendees to become the best leaders they can be, to encourage them to become better allies of women in the workplace and women in general, and to push them to lead forward.
 
The goal of the conference is to promote the free exchange of ideas and provide a unique networking platform for students, professionals, and supporters. Speakers, sponsors, and attendees from all around the world join the conference, creating a truly diverse, international, and welcoming learning experience.
 

WHEN IS IT?

Monday, March 2nd beginning at 17h00.
