A MESSAGE FROM OUR FOUNDER AND CHAIRWOMAN
It is my distinct pleasure to invite you to The Global Women in STEM Leadership Summit. Why should you choose this summit out of the many women conferences available today? The answer is simple. This is not just another conference. It is a movement to build capacity, to nurture talent, to create community, and to empower women and girls in scientific and technological fields to reach their full potential and thrive in male dominated fields. The summit convenes some of the most successful and influential leaders and founders from industry, academia, nonprofit and government. These leaders will share their insights, wisdom, hard-earned lessons, and actionable tools and strategies in a transparent, intimate, compelling and authentic way. But that’s just the beginning. Our summit revolves around the attendees. While the keynote speeches, fireside chats, workshops and presentations spark inspiration, motivation, and excitement, breakthroughs happen during our real-talk sessions. In these sessions, attendees get to examine their own lives and careers, reflect on their own potential, understand and demystify their limitations, set their own goals and pave the way for achieving them

WHAT PAST PARTICIPANTS HAD TO SAY ABOUT OUR SUMMIT
“The Summit is an insightful and empowering program designed to inspire attendees through sessions tailored specifically for promoting women in STEM. Bringing together women from around the globe who are passionate about STEM fields resulted in an extremely powerful two days. I am delighted to play a part in this pioneering program”

Throughout the two days, attendees have the opportunity to hear from a variety of speakers who are committed to furthering the role of women in STEM fields. I left the conference inspired by the passion and talent of the conference participants”
“I just wanted to congratulate you on a wonderful summit. It was engaging, informative, inspirational, motivating, encouraging and educational. I’m in awe of your energy, transparency and accomplishments. Thank you so much for filling this important gap and bringing this community together. It was my honor to be included”
“ I found the background and credentials of the speakers to be very impressive, the participants to be fully engaged, and the event to be very well organized and executed.

This summit was amazing, it gave me inspiration, advice, and support. I find myself simply wanting to go back to the summit and feel welcomed yet again. I cannot wait until the next summit”
“This conference came at the best time as I was feeling discouraged and angry at myself for consistently downplaying my ability to be a STEM student. Seeing so many highly successful and intelligent women on stage with diverse backgrounds was just the push I needed to revitalize my drive and determination to succeed and perform well. ”
