The IWiL Summit 2024 is just around the corner, and this year’s event promises to be an inspiring and transformative experience for all involved. Designed to empower and elevate women in leadership roles, the summit brings together an incredible community of professionals, mentors, and mentees to share knowledge, build connections, and drive positive change in the business world.
Hosted by IKB Deutsche Industriebank in Düsseldorf, the event is set to provide a platform for women from all industries to come together, learn from one another, and collaborate on shaping the future of leadership.
An Exclusive Mentee Experience
The day begins with a tailored experience for the Mentee Class of 2024. This exclusive session is designed to equip our mentees with the tools, inspiration, and connections they need to thrive as future leaders.
With a warm welcome from Nicole Riggers and Sabine Hansen, the mentees will dive into an inspiring keynote by Angelina Fuchs, who will share her personal journey in banking, from onboarding during the pandemic to navigating the future horizons of her career. It’s an invaluable opportunity for our mentees to gain insight from someone who’s successfully weathered challenges and emerged stronger.
The experience also includes a chance to network with IWiL alumni, providing the mentees with the opportunity to engage in open discussions, ask questions, and receive guidance from those who’ve walked a similar path.
