While diversity and inclusion are under pressure in some parts of the world, at the same time it is becoming increasingly clear how essential feminine values are for the future. Collaboration, empathy and long-term vision make organizations more resilient and successful. But how do we ensure that these values are not only recognized, but actively integrated into leadership and decision-making?

At WIFS, we believe the financial sector is at the forefront of this. At ‘Accelerating 50/50 in Finance - Challenges and Chances’ we will explore how we can leverage these values to accelerate change and build an inclusive future together. We will also dive into the challenges and hidden lessons that will help us achieve this goal.

The event is taking place in the recently renovated building of De Nederlandsche Bank in Amsterdam, where Cindy van Oorschot, executive board member at DNB and new member of our Advisory Board, will welcome us.

What to expect
✔ Keynote on AI and bias by Noëlle Cicilia of Brush AI - how technology offers both opportunities and pitfalls for diversity and inclusion
