IPWS LEADERSHIP SUMMIT featuring Women Leadership Awards 2016

“Embracing the Changing Nature of Leadership: A Roadmap to Success”

We are excited to announce the IPWS Leadership Summit will be held on Friday 27th May at Shook, Meeting Space & Terrace, via the Swatch Art Peace Hotel … and you’re invited!

The IPWS Leadership Summit will feature China’s longest-running international awards recognizing women, the Women Leadership Awards, now in it’s 10th year. Meet and network with China’s top female leaders at the 2016 IPWS Leadership Summit in Shanghai, featuring dynamic speakers and innovative workshops exploring this year’s theme: Embracing the Changing Nature of Leadership: A Roadmap to Success.

On the global stage, we’ve seen the United Nations highlight gender equality & women’s empowerment as one of the ’17 Goals to Transform Our World’ and many researchers point out Gender & Corporate Social Responsibilities as a matter of sustainability. The IPWS Leadership Summit is bringing together the best thinkers & leaders in our community to continue these discussions. How can we embrace the changing nature of leadership?

You’ll have a professional & personal development experience like no other in Shanghai. IPWS will host an afternoon of innovative and insightful workshops and presentations, while giving you a chance to rub shoulders with the best leaders of our community. Throughout the program, we’ll honor & celebrate the winners of Women Leadership Awards 2016 and naturally end our inspiring day with an exquisite After Party on the rooftop of the historic Swatch Art Peace Hotel!
