Women in Business Summit
How can leaders create opportunities for the next generation of women amid a technological revolution and reversal of equality initiatives?
Progress on gender equality across the OECD has slowed to its weakest level since the pandemic. At the same time, AI-driven disruption and economic uncertainty are reshaping the jobs landscape, creating a perfect storm for women at work and in society.
What does power look like in this new era? What happens when economic and political pressures on equality policies converge? Who is still making a difference in the workplace — and how?
The Women in Business Summit returns to London in June 2027, bringing together senior executives, policymakers and changemakers to examine the forces shaping the future of work for women. Join us for thought-provoking interviews, practical insights and candid conversations on how to navigate disruption, accelerate progress and lead with impact.
