This engaging in-person speaker panel is part of a global livestream discussion, joining international leaders and thinkers from 10 countries spanning 5 continents on topics including:

  • What progress has been achieved in the past years with regards to women in leadership in your country and region?
  • Where are the major challenges and opportunities?
  • Who are the real change-makers? Who are women and allies making a difference in your country?
  • What have you learned from them, what actions that they have taken have changed things to the better?
  • What can be done to promote diversity, inclusivity and women in leading positions?
  • What does “Women’s Leadership” mean to you? How do you define it and do you think there are misconceptions that need to be brought down?
  • As a woman and leader in your field, what are your priorities and goals?
