THE PWN GLOBAL SUMMIT 2024
The PWN Global Summit was held at the European Parliament and Strasbourg City Hall on March 8th, 2024, aligning with International Women's Day, under the banner of Women, Peace, Health, and Wealth.
The event drew 300 participants from PWN's extensive network, including PWN Nice representatives, to engage in meaningful discussions aimed at advancing gender-balanced leadership.
Highlights included insightful keynote speeches and panel discussions by experts from various sectors, with Christine Lagarde contributing significantly to the dialogue on gender equality and leadership.
The discussions focused on critical issues such as the importance of peace, the impact of health on women's lives, and the role of wealth in fostering women's independence and leadership.
This significant gathering emphasised the importance of unity and collaboration in promoting women's rights and leadership, marking a pivotal moment for future initiatives by PWN Global and its community.
