“I feel empathy in the conversation we have at the summit, and a lot of connection with myself as well, which is very motivating, and I’m sure that everyone in the room has the same feeling. So we are coming back to our companies to network with more motivation to make a difference in equality, diversity, and inclusion.”

Europe’s Top Leadership Conference

Our 2022 event showed us how to move beyond surface-level efforts and achieve genuinely diverse leadership. But it’s time to do more. This year is all about accountability and measuring our progress. We need to boost ourselves and speed up the way towards inclusive leadership. Our topics will include, but won’t stop at:

Accelerating women’s leadership journey to the C-suite.

Going beyond gender and addressing strategies to advance other marginalized groups

The rise of the empathetic leader

Getting inspired to take action - inspiring stories from inclusive leaders

Strategic networking – why it matters for your career and success
