Women Empowerment Reality Check
The SGC Women in Business Committee is inviting you to a comprehensive forum on the topic “Women Empowerment Reality Check”, a globally important topic under the diversity and inclusion as well as sustainability aspect.
Women make up about 50% of the global population, but do they have equal power and influence in business and politics? This Forum aims to address these disparities with a distinguished lineup of speakers dedicated to advancing this vital conversation.
The event will take place on 2nd September 2024 at the Andaz Singapore (5 Fraser St, Singapore 189354), L3 the Garden Studio starting from 4pm with an official closing of the official part at 6.50pm, followed by networking drinks and snacks.
