Recognise
We honour the members, volunteers and journeys behind forty years of PWN Netherlands, including recognition for long-standing members and the people who kept the network thriving.
Celebrate forty years. Spark the next ten.
In 1986, around two dozen international women came together in Amsterdam to build a space where they could meet, connect and support each other professionally. Forty years later, PWN Netherlands is a diverse, international community of professionals, founders and leaders, and part of a global network of 30 PWN city networks.

This is an evening of genuine connection rather than long speeches. Whether you have been part of PWN for decades, joined recently, or are curious about the network, you are warmly welcome.
The evening is built around three themes:
