WIMBIZ holds 18th Annual Conference
Women in Management, Business and Public Service, WIMBIZ, is set to hold its 18th Annual Conference. The event is scheduled for November 7th and 8th at Eko Hotel & Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos.
The 2019 conference theme is “Shaping the Future: Strategising to Win”, and will feature practical sessions designed to equip the women with winning strategies and hands-on knowledge to take on new challenging roles, explore emerging business opportunities, as well as build and sustain a successful career in today’s fast-paced world.
According to the organisers, relevant contemporary topics will be discussed.
“Delegates will learn how to develop winning strategies to secure their seat at the table; discover how to collaborate to win; understand consumer behaviour; reach those who are not on the internet; overcome trauma and silence shame; rise above the imposter syndrome and much more through each of the six deep dives and seven plenary sessions. As always, the Annual Conference will be wrapped up with an engaging debate session closely trailed by our signature after party,” the statement said.
It continued: “Preceding the Annual Conference on Day One, Thursday, November 7th is the Networking Breakfast. Participants at this breakfast will learn to make a stellar one-minute elevator pitch, and then be given an opportunity to practice it while meeting at least ten new people in a structured speed networking session. It is a business networking event offering delegates a unique opportunity to meet and connect with influential individuals from diverse sectors in a bespoke setting.
“This year’s Annual Conference will be chaired by former Chief Judge, Federal High Court of Nigeria, Hon. Justice Rose Ukeje, OFR. In addition to 50 other speakers, we are pleased that the keynote address will be presented by Fed Swaniker, Co-founder and Trustee African Leadership Academy.”
