Newsweek is proud to present our Women’s Global Impact Forum, which aims to connect senior female executives - across industries and job functions - and their “rising stars”. The event is an opportunity for our guests to innovate, share their bold visions for leadership, the future of work and how they will leave a positive and lasting IMPACT on the world. 

Progress toward gender equity in the workplace continues even as challenges remain. From the lingering wage gap and unconscious biases to underrepresentation in executive roles and workplace harassment, women navigate a professional landscape that demands resilience and advocacy.

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, women working full-time year-round are paid 84 percent of what men earn on average. And this percentage has largely stayed the same for more than a decade.

Despite these obstacles, many companies are stepping up to foster environments where women can thrive.  Join us as we celebrate and call attention to these great leaders and companies - and learn from some of the world's most inspiring women.
