Welcome to the Global WINConference

Rome - 26.27.28 (29) September 2018

The WINConference inspires, provides context, tools, knowledge and a generous network of support for women to contribute authentically, integrating their feminine values and global awareness into all that they do. With an outstanding roster of brilliant speakers, WIN inspires companies to become inclusive, conscious and global. WIN inspires women to step up to the next level in the world, in their careers and in their lives.

At WIN, there is tremendous knowledge, skills and experience and when we collectively put our hearts and authentic leadership into motion, we can move mountains. 

By joining WIN, you will be pulled by inspiration to realise a greater purpose. 

A Unique Experience

“WIN has awakened again the passion for life in me as if I have been given water after days

of long walk in a desert alone. I am a much stronger and better professional, friend and woman.

I have started a new project, and to mentor and coach other females too, with the objective

of helping them seize their strength and happiness.”

Yunji XU PhD, Senior Account Manager, Shell International LNG Supply

The WINConference is not only about connecting you to a magic energy and sense that everything is possible. It is about business, how to run the world and companies in a more integrated fashion, where women’s voices are heard and our common future is taken seriously. It is about realizing our individual and collective dreams.

WIN is a safe space where transformation becomes possible. In fact for many it changes their lives. It may spark something in you that allows you to embark on a new journey or continue the one you are on with increased clarity and vitality. You learn to contribute new ideas with increased impact, take on deeper responsibility from new perspectives and find refreshed purpose to make things happen. WIN is concrete, it raises awareness and becomes much like a nourishing garden accelerating growth.

Who you will meet

"The WIN Conference is always a highlight of the year, and the 40+ Medtronic participants always come back

inspired and motivated. We truly see the WIN conference as an extension of our own networking

& learning programmes. The difference that the WIN Conference makes is truly remarkable!

For me personally the great thing about the annual Conference is the wide range of topics and speakers; 

there is always something that will touch and inspire you - if you just let it happen”

Fiona Pattiselanno, Medtronic, Marketing Communications, Brand and Conventions Director EMEA

Trailblazing Executives, Entrepreneurs, Managers, Consultants, Artists, NGO leaders. The brilliant leaders who attend WINConference are resourceful, diverse, open-minded, experienced and global. 90 different nationalities were represented last year.

You Are The One

”It is so inspiring to meet so many women who are both ambitious in

their careers and energized by a love of life.”

Professor Michael Kimmel, Department of Sociology, Stony Brook University, New York

Perhaps you work for a large company with substantial leadership experience? Perhaps you just begun your own company and wonder how to proceed? Perhaps you are in transition and curious about your next steps? Perhaps you don’t even feel like a leader and still know you can contribute? Perhaps you want to be part of a larger shift in women’s freedom of choice going on at a global scale, wish to be in the centre of the discussion? Perhaps you simply feel like widening your horizon, learn something new and create a better network of interesting people. Perhaps you simply have a desire to be a part of it`? 

You will be in the right place

The Journey

If you are like so many of the people joining WIN you are pulled by inspiration and greater purpose. So, we listen to the world’s call for a future benefiting all, and ask each other, the leaders, to be a part of the solution. WINConference offers you a chance to integrate your feminine values, contribute authentically and grasp our global interconnectedness. It creates the safe environment for more mindful networking, learning, sharing, creating and co-creating and the space for your most powerful you to emerge.
