The Reykjavík Global Forum – Women Leaders was launched in 2018 under the heading of Power, Together!
The invite only forum convenes women leaders from all sectors, including politics, business, civil society, academia, the arts and media, to share ideas and solutions on how to further advance society towards equality and to promote and positively develop the number of women in leadership positions.
Attracting global leaders from over 80 countries each year, the Forum offers a unique lens into the best practices and proven solutions that leaders are deploying across sectors to achieve parity. We work with some of the most influential leaders, compelling speakers, and innovative problem solvers in the world.
The annual Forum is the Flagship event in the Reykjavik Global community and is co-hosted with the Government and Parliament of Iceland in Reykjavik.
