We were inspired by the story of one woman, who changed the face of education in New Zealand, to start a regular conference series, where inspirational and successful, dynamic women leaders could meet to share experience and advice.
We bring together women leaders from a range of industries, organisations and backgrounds to share insights and to create strong bonds through powerful networking. These exclusive events are held in the beautiful grounds of the Hôtel-Restaurant du Parc des Eaux-Vives, where we gather for keynote speeches, panel discussions, interactive workshops and a whole lot more.

Empathy, sharing and networking. Loved it!
After only a few hours, I felt privileged, inspired and hopeful about the future. What a great day! Thank you.
It’s incredible how many wonderful women are out there, with amazing paths and stories to share.
It exceeded all my expectations. Very moved to meet so many thoughtful and caring women leaders.
Great day with a good mix of panels, interviews, workshops, networking and exchanging with so many great women.
I would qualify this conference with 3 words – diversity (of profiles), diversity (of topics) and driven (gives me the keys to grow!).
It was my first WLC and I was very proud to be able to participate. It gave me strength, faith in myself and others. Great networking opportunity as well. Thanks and congratulations!
Superb! Great discovery as far as I am concerned and a fantastic opportunity to network with high calibre women with both international and local backgrounds.
A humbling yet inspiring experience. Fascinating Keynotes! Thank you.
I was challenged to think beyond my field, by amazing women from different areas, and reflect what tools I could use.
I highly recommend the Women’s Leadership Conference to reconnect with yourself and others from different, diverse backgrounds.
Always fantastic to stop in our business and connect with other women leaders from whom I can learn. Thank you MyPhy for bringing us together in such a safe way
