The campaign theme for International Women's Day 2024 is Inspire Inclusion. When we inspire others to understand and value women's inclusion, we forge a better world. And when women themselves are inspired to be included, there's a sense of belonging, relevance, and empowerment.

Within any organisation, there are many ways to ensure the needs, interests and aspirations of women and girls are valued and included. During this event, our esteemed speakers will #InspireInclusion by highlighting best practices, do’s and don’ts and advice. So that we can forge a more inclusive world for women together. 

Organized by the NBCC Diversity, equality & Inclusion Forum, the event will take place at Diageo (Molenwerf 12, 1014 BG Amsterdam, Netherlands) on March 8th from 9:30 AM - 11:30 AM CET. Registration and coffee start at 9:00 AM CET.
