10th Anniversary
WOMEN IN ACTION
REWRITING THE RULES OF LEADERSHIP

2025 IESE Women in Business Conference

January 29th, 2025 | Barcelona

WOMEN IN ACTION
REWRITING THE RULES OF LEADERSHIP

Leadership is not a destination — it’s a journey of growth, challenging boundaries, and paving the way for others to succeed. 

This year’s conference will spotlight the stories of women who have taken bold steps to build lasting professional and personal legacies, and those who are forging networks, mentorships, and partnerships to drive meaningful change. Together, we’ll celebrate and be inspired by moments where women have fearlessly acted with courage to redefine workplace culture and drive progress toward gender equality. 

True leadership isn’t about maintaining the status quo—it’s about forging new paths. Join us in celebrating the bravery, collaboration, and innovation that make women in leadership a powerful force for change.
