U.S Women in Finance Awards 2023 | GlobalTrading Journal | Hard Rock Hotel New York, 159 W 48th St, New York, NY 10036, US

Markets Media is a strong advocate for women in finance as well as diversity and inclusion, and our signature WIF event embodies that support. The U.S. event follows our Women in Finance Asia Awards which was held in Singapore in May, and the European Women in Finance Awards held in London in October 2022.

Since its inception as a luncheon event in 2015, the WIF awards program has expanded to a formal evening program and has evolved with more and different awards each year, including the groundbreaking Instinet Positive Impact Awards.

What hasn’t changed is our core premise of recognizing and celebrating the most talented and accomplished women in multiple categories across finance. WIF awards cover institutional investment firms, sell-side broker-dealers, wealth managers, exchange operators, technology providers, venture capital firms, start-ups — any area within the financial sector that touches capital markets.
