Next Generation Women Leaders history

The first Next Generation Women Leaders (NGWL) event took place outside of Paris in 2012. The event brought together women for inspirational workshops, discussions, and networking. Attendees explored the importance of women in leadership and refined their own leadership skills.

Over the years, the program has pivoted to a virtual event so we can welcome more women, and we have hosted additional initiatives to further support women’s leadership under the NGWL umbrella including events in Europe, North America, South America, and Asia.
