International Women’s Day 8th March at SGH Warsaw School of Economics

There is no better opportunity than International Women’s Day to talk about topics related to women presence in business. Experts and successful Women invited by eight bilateral Chambers of Commerce will meet to discuss how women change the face of business and what does it mean to invest in times of rising inflation. There will also be a motivating workshop, and the whole event will be closed with a panel in which guests will share inspiring stories from their lives and business. The conference will be a great opportunity for lively discussion and exchange of experiences, as well as an inspiration for changes that have never been as ubiquitous as today.
