On March 8, 2022, we joined our partner think!, a Glanbia company, and hundreds of leaders, founders, & allies for our annual International Women’s Day celebration! This year’s hybrid event brought together our full community both in-person at 1871 and from around the world for a day filled with educational programming, an incredible keynote, & plenty of opportunities to connect. 

In her opening address, our CEO Betsy Ziegler gave attendees the challenge to learn one new thing, meet one new person, & take the pledge to #BreakTheBias. Together, we took important steps toward building a more equal future for both ourselves & others.  

Betsy also shared the exciting news that we are introducing WMNtech, our newly-renamed affinity offerings for women professionals in technology! Our bi-annual WMNtech Founders & WMNtech Leaders programs will continue to provide important resources, support, & an engaged community to give women innovators an even greater opportunity to thrive. Read our full announcement here!  

A huge thank you to our partner think!, a Glanbia company, our keynote speaker Mary Dillon, and our incredible speakers, including Margaret Izard Oskoui, Krissie McMenamin, Tiffany Yvonne, Nicole Wood, & Foram Sheth. Thank you as well to everyone who joined us for this unforgettable day, as we came together to #BreakTheBias! 

We hope to see you for IWD 2023 next March!
