"Advancing Women in the Global Talent Arena" is the second event in the 2024 HIRED series, and will highlight the critical role of women in leadership positions and the continuous advancement of their careers. As women hold only 29% of senior management roles globally and control about $31.8 trillion in worldwide spending, this event addresses the urgency of fostering their growth in the corporate sphere. By emphasizing the strategic empowerment of women, we aim to underscore the profound impact of women leadership on organizational success and innovation. Join industry leaders and professionals in two keynotes and a panel discussion that explore the complexities and strategies for women's professional advancement.

Don't miss this opportunity to connect, learn, and contribute to the advancement of women in the global talent arena. Join us in shaping a future where every woman has the tools, support, and opportunities to thrive in their professional journey.
