About the event
The Global Women in Leadership Summit is an international platform where female professionals, managers, and executives come together to drive change, both within their organisations and externally. The two-day programme in Amsterdam will revolve around the theme “Take Action: Lead the Change”, with a strong focus on leadership, inclusion, innovation, and accelerating meaningful equality.

The summit features keynote speeches, expert panels, and interactive workshops, with contributions from thought leaders in business, government, academia, and the tech and engineering sectors.
