PWN Summit 2021
Celebrating Inspirational Women
International Women's Day is a global day celebrating women's achievements. The day also marks a call to action for raising awareness against bias and for accelerating gender balance. In honor of International Women's Day PWN has harnessed the power of its global network, bringing together a selection of high-profile speakers who will share empowering and galvanizing messages spotlighting achievements by women from around the globe. Hear the stories of women who have succeeded in male-dominated industries, led banks, corporations and countries.
You will also hear from some men – because we believe that engaging men who are in a position to influence culture and policies is critical to reaching equal rights for everyone, enabling people of every gender to fulfill their potential.
Our speakers' list includes:
Mary Robinson: Adjunct Professor for Climate Justice & Chair of The Elders
Roberta Metsola: Vice President, European Parliament
Olivier Campenon: CEO, Lefebvre Sarrut
Otilia Ciotau: Adviser to MD & CFO, World Bank
