Upcoming International Women’s Day 2026

For the ninth consecutive year, PwC Luxembourg, Baker McKenzie and Amcham are celebrating International Women’s Day (IWD) as an iconic moment to reflect on how far we want to push the gender needle.

Each year, we bring together a group of insightful and daring speakers to nurture a genuine, inspirational and thought‑provoking conversation around the opportunities and challenges of gender balance and inclusion in today’s world.

Join us on 5 March 2026, from 14:30 to 18:00 at PwC’s Crystal Park, for an event designed to spark meaningful testimonies and accelerate real progress.

This year’s theme: #GiveToGain

Following last year’s dialogue—where over 200 guests explored how to inspire inclusion in the workplace—we are taking the discussion a step further.

Mentoring and role modelling remain essential, but in 2026, women need proactive advocates, people who speak up for them in the rooms where decisions are made. This year we focus on the power of sponsorship as a catalyst for equal opportunities and career advancement.

Let’s turn intent into action with a thought‑provoking programme exploring key questions such as:

• What does sponsorship look like across different sectors?
• How can someone turn a mentor into a sponsor – and how do you attract the right advocates?
• How has sponsorship shaped leaders’ careers, and what difference does it truly make?
• What holds women back from proactively seeking sponsors?
• Does sponsorship come more naturally to men?
• What actions can organisations take to encourage sponsorship?
• What message should be sent to policymakers to increase women’s representation in leadership roles?
