About

[edit]

The Women's International Networking Conference was founded in 1997 by Norwegian social entrepreneur Kristin Engvig.[6] Together with a group of corporate women and expatriates she invented the WINConference which was held at Palazzo delle Stelline, IBM Center in Milan in 1998.[7] The conference is attended by business people, politicians, NGO representatives and others.[5] WINConference prepares their attendants for the future through a feminine lens, conducting research on women in management and business and the way they balance work and life.[8] Its vision expands the new paradigm of leading authentically, by integrating feminine values and global interconnectedness and the conference brings influential change-makers and pioneers together to create a more balanced world that works for all.[9]

Since 2009, the global conference is run annually, with around 500 attendees from all over the world.[10] WINConference holds global and local conferences, such as the Middle East (Dubai), Japan WIN Conference[11] and WINConference Nigeria.[12] In 2013, the India Conference was held for the first time.[13] Through thought leadership, advocacy, vision & innovative work on diversity, inclusion, authentic, feminine/balanced, and global conscious leadership WIN Conference touched 22 000 women leaders worldwide as well as an increasing number of men).
