About this event

This year, chapters across Europe have come together again to host an online European International Women’s Day celebration on April 19th. We are planning a day full of inspirational talks, firechats and prizes.Our theme in 2022 is #ProgressNotPerfection, celebrating all kinds of progress - big or small - and the strength we demonstrate in not letting fear hold us back from following our dreams. Together we can break the bias, empower ourselves and other and create the tomorrow we want today, one step at a time! 
So…. what will you do, in 2022, to close the gap between your ability and your ambition, achieving #ProgressNotPerfection?
