Event details

What are the defining moments that shape a career? Which choices make a difference? Who helps us along the way, and how can we, in turn, open doors for others?

During the evening, three female leaders will share their personal leadership journeys: the opportunities they have embraced, the challenges they have faced, the people and networks that have made a difference, and the lessons they have learned along the way.

The conversation will then continue in smaller groups, giving participants the opportunity to exchange experiences and perspectives on leadership, career development and how we can support one another. Come for the stories and inspiration, stay for the conversations and new connections, and leave with fresh perspectives on your own leadership journey.
