Our 2024 theme
The Shape of You: In a rapidly changing world, driven by technological and societal shifts, the shape of business is constantly evolving. It demands the we flex our leadership approach and in turn how we show up as women, as leaders and as allies. In this changing landscape, how do we stay true to our own identities and embrace the shape of us? Celebrating the ‘Shape of You’ as an individual is the focus and is reflected in our Summit experience.
