Share your wisdom, Knowledge & story as speaker
Become part of the iconic WIN Conference as a Speaker
WIN’s philosophy is rooted in a system of engagement and co-creation, involving the wider ecosystem of leaders, partners, and community members who are part of our journey.
Often experienced as a peer-to-peer gathering, WIN brings together those aligned with its vision, often members of the WIN Community who wish to co-create within this framework for change, while ensuring that others shine as brightly as themselves.
For this, we have created pathways for active participation and contribution.
The Call to the WIN Community for Speakers is one such pathway, opening space for women’s voices and perspectives to be heard.
Each year, we receive thoughtful proposals from presenters around the world. A committee within the WIN office reviews these carefully to ensure strong alignment with the spirit, quality, and intention of the gathering, WIN’s framework of change and overall vision of the organization.
At WIN, it is about sharing rather than promoting and contributing rather than selling, recognizing that we are part of an interconnected web. WIN is also a place where speaker are participants in the gathering and not separate from it.
Whether as an official presenter or as an engaged participant in the many interactive moments of a WIN gathering, everyone contributes to the experience.
At WIN, everyone is a star within a unique constellation of shining stars. The programme is intentionally designed so that participants are seen, heard, and valued. Again and again, we witness the power of women sharing their stories, work, dreams, passions, and ideas, as together we shape a collective vision for a brighter future.
The world depends on women’s authentic and empowered leadership to shape solutions for a future that works for all.
It also depends on women’s visions and projects being realized, ideas that can no longer remain hidden away in drawers.
In addition to the community call, a select number of speakers are invited directly by WIN
Who Should Apply?
WIN is an experience and a vision, a community-centered gathering, not simply a speaking platform.
Those who participate as speakers typically do so because they deeply resonate with the WIN vision and values, and wish to contribute to the collective experience of the conference, whether speaking, facilitating, coaching, or participating fully in the programme.
Speaker proposals are therefore typically submitted by:
•Members of the WIN Community
•Individuals recommended by a WIN member, partner, or part of regional WIN communities
If you are new to WIN but feel strongly aligned with our mission, you are welcome to apply and share how you discovered WIN and your connection to our work.
We encourage proposals from individuals who genuinely wish to participate fully in the conference experience, not only deliver a session.

"The honour of speaking at your conference was one of the best of my professional life. It was so great as a man to have that privilege, and I continue to fight wherever I can for the advancement of women."

There are many ways to contribute to WIN. One year someone may speak, another year participate without presenting, and another time contribute as a coach or facilitator.
The Global WIN Conference is often experienced as a peer-to-peer gathering, where the intention is to create space for many women’s voices to be heard. While not everyone speaks from the main stage, participants are invited to contribute through a rich tapestry of interactive sessions, workshops, coaching circles, and dialogue experiences throughout the multi-day journey.
In this way, the gathering becomes a constellation of voices, ideas, and shared wisdom emerging from across the global WIN community.
Participants come from diverse backgrounds including corporate leaders, entrepreneurs, innovators, and emerging change-makers.
They gather to learn, grow, exchange ideas, accelerate their careers, and explore more authentic and meaningful ways of leading and living.
Some sessions are open to all participants, while others are dedicated specifically to senior leaders, entrepreneurs, middle managers, or young leaders, allowing for deeper dialogue within particular communities.
WIN also encourages organizations to cultivate inclusivity, sustainability, and diversity, and to lead with values such as trust, truth, quality, beauty, and long-term responsibility.

What to Keep in Mind
Speaker Participation and Contribution
WIN gatherings are carefully curated, high-quality experiences designed to foster meaningful connection and transformation.
Organizing such gatherings involves substantial costs, including venue spaces, workshop rooms, multiple shared meals, coffee breaks, 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 generally not paid. Instead, speakers participate in the conference with a reduced conference fee, which helps cover the core costs of the event.
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 community
-
Raise their global visibility
-
Contribute to a meaningful mission
-
Deliver impactful sessions in a supportive and high-vibration environment
Whenever sponsorships, donations, or partnerships allow, WIN strives to reduce or remove participation fees. In recent years, however, attracting major sponsors has become more challenging, which is why a participation fee may exist.
In some regional or local gatherings, participation for speakers may be complimentary, depending on the resources available within that community.
Global Conference Participation

-
Celebration events and gala dinners
-
Programme design and learning materials
-
