About

The Women's International Networking Conference was founded in 1997 by Norwegian social entrepreneur Kristin Engvig.[6] Together with a group of corporate women and expatriates she invented the WINConference which was held at Palazzo delle Stelline, IBM Center in Milan in 1998.[7] The conference is attended by business people, executives, academics, NGO representatives and others.[8] WINConference also conducts research about women in management and business and the way they balance work and life.[9][10]

The conference is run annually, and had around 500 attendees from around the world as of 2009.[11] WINConference holds global and local conferences, such as the Japan WIN Conference[12] and WINConference Nigeria.[13] The first time the conference was held in India was in 2013.[14] As of 2016, the global conference has gathered more than 13 000 participants of 129 different nationalities.[15]
