WHY ATTEND

Despite progress, the latest Deloitte Global Women in the Boardroom report reveals that women chair only 8.4% of global boards and make up just 6% of CEOs. At the current pace, gender parity for these leadership roles may not be achieved until 2073. Clearly, there is still work to do to create equity.
