The W.I.N. delegates / Your target & talent pool

At W.I.N., sponsors are at the forefront for engaging, networking with, and canvassing from a highly qualified group of professionals and influential decision makers or opinion leaders. W.I.N. delegates are: company executives, entrepreneurs, independent professionals, consultants, academics, artists, thought leaders, government and NGO representatives, international business school professors and students.

The W.I.N. woman is culturally aware, wants to be part of a community and has an international and open mindset. She is well-educated, open to learning, keen to grow and contribute, receptive to both new technology and spirituality. She seeks new ways to use her innate talents and intuition to achieve her goals. Typically, the W.I.N. woman wants it all: work, family, community and self. She is at once vulnerable and strong and desires to speak with her own voice. She is feminine and authentic.

Typically, the W.I.N. man is not afraid of being in the minority. He wants to understand how women are changing work and life and desires to be part of the new transformation that will humanize our future; creating new norms in society, economic life, cultural milieus and organizations from an integral and feminine perspective. He knows that businesses who promote the talents of women, listen to their perspective, and treat them with respect as customers will be the most successful in an ever-competitive world. In short, he wants a role in shaping a new, emerging paradigm that he knows also benefits himself.
