Speaker Participation & Contribution

​

WIN gatherings are carefully curated, high-quality experiences designed to foster meaningful connection, learning, and transformation. When we gather for a WIN conference, it is far more than a traditional event. It is a convergence of exceptional individuals and a circle of true peers, a space we consciously co-create together within the spirit, vision, and framework of the organization.​

Organizing these gatherings involves substantial costs, including renting of venues, workshop spaces, shared meals, Award Dinner, Gala Dinner, VIP cocktails, programme design, communications, and a dedicated team working throughout the year to curate and support the experience.​

To make it possible for many voices to be heard, speakers are not paid. Instead, speakers participate in the conference experience alongside all other participants and contribute through a reduced speaker conference pass, helping cover part of the core costs of the gathering. They are always welcome to pay the full fee and contribute to the sustainability of the organization.​

Speakers often share that participating in WIN becomes one of the most meaningful experiences of their professional journey, offering opportunities to:connect with an extraordinary international communitycontribute to a meaningful missionraise their visibility and impactshare their work within a supportive, high-level environmentparticipate in a carefully curated leadership experience​​.

​

The speaker contribution includes access to the conference programme and interactive learning journey, networking experiences, celebration events (Award Dinner and Gala Dinner and more), shared meals and coffee breaks, conference materials, learning material. There is also speaker profiling, and briefing or coaching sessions with the WIN team and in some cases also meeting with press.

​Accommodation, travel, and optional external activities are not included.Whenever sponsorships or partnerships allow, WIN strives to reduce or remove participation fees. In recent years, however, sadly, attracting major sponsorship support has become increasingly challenging. For some regional gatherings, participation may still be complimentary depending on available resources and local partnerships. Most of the time, it is not.​

​

For the 2026 Global WIN High-Level Gathering, participants who are also selected as speakers are invited to register at the Subsidized Individual Ticket rate (CHF 1,495) or the Full Ticket rate.

If this presents a financial challenge, applicants may apply for a Sisterhood Ticket or Host Country Ticket, offered at 50% of the Full Ticket rate .In the spirit of inclusion, WIN works throughout the year to secure sponsorships and partnerships that help make participation more accessible. While we do our best, additional sponsorship support cannot always be guaranteed.WIN conferences are thoughtfully designed over many months to create a meaningful, inspiring, and world-class experience for all participants.
