The International WomenIN Business Regional Conference Inspires the Winning Mindset but highlights the Life and Work Balance, Helps Boost Personal and Professional Development, and contributes to the Global and Local Gender Equality Endeavors.
The International WomenIN Business is a regional initiative founded last year by women experts in diplomacy, PR, and event management.
Our mission is to create a regional learning and experience platform – for the women, by the women – to exchange knowledge, share experiences, and build stronger professional networks across countries, sectors, and generations.
WHY IT MATTERS
Women today lead governments, institutions, and global companies, but there is still so much work to be done. Change happens faster, and the quality level is higher when we connect and collaborate.

- Female leaders in international, regional & local institutions
