Our Women in Treasury & Finance US Forum, taking place on Wednesday 22nd October at the Midtown Loft and Terrace in New York, marks the final stop in our 2025 global series. This highly anticipated event brings together industry professionals to explore key topics, with a strong focus on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI).
As part of our global Women in Treasury Within initiative, this forum creates a space for professionals to share their experiences, challenges and successes, learning from one another. It offers a valuable opportunity to foster connections, exchange insights and drive progress towards gender equity in corporate finance.
A key moment of the afternoon will be a dynamic panel discussion featuring senior leaders from some of the region’s top corporations across the region. Drawing from key themes from our Global Equity Study, the discussion will explore the strides made and the challenges ongoing in advancing equity in the industry. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage directly with the panel, asking questions and seeking guidance on the issues most relevant to them.
We will also be honouring and celebrating our regional Within Award winners in attendance.
Stay tuned for more information.
