Thanks for celebrating IWD with us!

It was inspiring to celebrate International Women’s Day with over 400 guests from our community last Friday. We were touched by the incredible turnout and enthusiastic support from the friends, allies, and partners who came together to help us improve the lives of women and girls in Hong Kong.

We are immensely grateful to our Title Sponsor, The Estée Lauder Companies, and Associate Sponsor, Citi, for their immense dedication. This IWD Lunch would not have been possible without their generous support.

We had an inspiring afternoon with a panel discussion led by Professor Derek Collins with three fantastic women leaders; Teresa Ko, Hui Kuok and Angelle Siyang-Le, who shared how they are inspiring inclusive, sustainable change in their respective fields. We were touched by the incredible sharing of our Programme participants Natalie Tsui, Julie Chen and Eva Wong, moderated by TWF Board Chair, Angelina Kwan.

We would also like to thank our amazing emcee, Alyson Hau, and pledge co-leads, Kristi Swartz and Justin Bonnett.

We are deeply grateful to our Platinum Sponsors Bloomberg, the Financial Times, Goldman Sachs, KKR, and Moody’s.

Thanks to our Gold Sponsors: Airwallex, Bank of America, Bloomberg, BNP Paribas, British Consulate-General Hong Kong and Point 72; and Silver Sponsors: Cooley, Fidelity, formalighting, Leathwaite and Stratford Finance.

We are grateful to our Supporting Partners: Caius Chung Video Production, Create Productions, Clubhouse W Production, Just Photo and She.com.
