#BreakTheBias – International Women’s Day
March 8, 2022 @ 16 h 30 min - 18 h 30 min
On March 8, we will celebrate our 5th consecutive International Women’s Day (IWD), and PwC and AMCHAM Luxembourg together with the Luxembourg American Chamber of Commerce New York, invite you to a powerful conversation in PwC premises*.
You are warmly invited to join us physically to feel the energy of a vibrant exchange, be part of it and enjoy the after-event mingling time. Rest assured that all the sanitary measures will be in place for the safety of all of us.
*except for our US audience that will attend the event virtually
This year’s topic is #BreakTheBias and we have prominent leaders from different sectors to discuss what they are doing in this area and what their priorities are.
Among the questions you’ll find:
- When you hear the word bias, what’s the first thought that pops into your mind? How would you define a bias ? Is a bias innate or learned? Which bias do you anticipate in your profession? How can you detect them? How prejudicial can they be and towards which particular group?
- Which bias do you consider is a priority to tackle in the workplace and why (in terms of impact on the organisation, its attractiveness and ability to retain talents)?
- If budget and time were not a constraint, which policy, initiative or best practices would you like to design and implement? Do you already have one in place? What are the greatest challenges that you face when fighting against discrimination on the workplace?
Guiding this conversation we’ll have Mary Carey as a moderator of our gender mixed panel:
- Nicole Bintner-Bakshian, Luxembourg Ambassador in Washington (NY)
- Arnaud Dechoux, Public Affairs Manager Europe at Kaspersky with the innovative IT solution
- Gosia Kramer, CEO and co-founder of The Office
- Angela Nickel, CEO COMO
And more panelists to come! Stay tuned…
We hope to welcome you in person on Tuesday 8 March 2022 at 16:30 (Luxembourg time).
After the panel discussion, we also invite you to connect during a cocktail in our atrium and to wander around a unique female creators’ market proposed by Women in Business, where you can connect with daring women entrepreneurs and express your support. They’ll propose a Champagne bar animated by Craft & Cie for the benefit of a charity.
