Gender Smart Investing Summit 2018 | Gender-Smart Investing Summit | 1 November 2018 | London

WHY ATTEND?

Collaboration: Connect with key influencers from diverse backgrounds, all leaders within the spheres of investment, business, international development, and gender intelligence. Share ideas, intellect, and experiences to address bottlenecks and identify solutions.

Commitment: Amplify your commitment to moving more capital, more strategically, with vision and velocity, in a gender-smart way. Learn, share, and challenge yourself and others at the Summit and enhance our shared passion for using finance as a tool for gender equitable social change, and investing in the power of women’s markets.

Dialogue: Be part of frank, open, and honest discussions with key influencers about how to catalyse gender-smart investing, both globally and within your own organisation. Participate in dynamic roundtables on the most critical issues and opportunities in the field.

Sharing: Bring your own experiences, ambitions, and challenges to the table. Hear compelling "ignite talks" on key movements in the field. Use the Summit as a high-profile platform to announce new developments, tools, vehicles, and action plans.

Action: Most of all, the Summit will be focused on outcomes. Through combining valuable input from game changers across different sectors, roles, and geographies, together we will turn ideas into action, unlocking significant tranches of capital in the process. This is a chance to join a select group of thought leaders to develop vibrant markets, use finance as a tool to increase women and girls’ economic and social advancement, and advance gender equality around the world.
