Three days of diverse and inspiring speakers
from around the globe
Wednesday, October 6
How do leadership qualities shift over the course of one’s academic career and what do you need to do now to prepare for tomorrow. We’ll look at how we are building leadership skills in academia and we’ll bust through the myths about what it looks like to lead a business school.
Thursday, October 7
How can we disrupt the traditional roles in business education and ensure that we are a part of any future we make? Leaders in fields such as artificial intelligence, future studies and business academia will discuss how they broke through barriers, and how you can (and will) too. The future is bright, lets get you to where you need to go.
Friday, October 8
How are we establishing a diversity enabling infrastructure in our institutions and among our stakeholders? Creating deep impact across an institution takes allies. These sessions will focus on the connection between allyship and leadership, including male allyship and allyship to women of color to support those on their path to leadership.

Special Highlights
Networking Sessions
Throughout the three days attendees will have plenty of opportunities for connection and engagement. In the Virtual Networking Lounge participants can join different breakout discussion groups, meet with exhibitors or pass along their CV to a recruiter. For our truly global audience, networking sessions will take place throughout the day, or perhaps even your night!
Can’t Make it live? Access sessions up to three weeks after the event
Participate in interactive keynotes and workshops led by experts on variety of topics. Sessions will be hybrid, with most live and some sessions pre-recorded. Additional resources and recordings will be available up to three months after the event.
After each meeting, I feel energized and very grateful towards these wonderful women who care deeply about higher education in business. They are so inspired and inspiring.
By far the greatest value WiBE provides is the opportunity to have intentional, candid conversations with fellow women deans to address matters/issues we’re all encountering.
