Conversations that shape leadership.
Leadership is shaped by the decisions we make, the challenges we overcome and the conversations we dare to have.
The Leading Ladies Panel Talk brings together influential women from different industries to share their perspectives on leadership, ambition, power and influence. Honest conversations. Different perspectives. Valuable connections. Because when women share their knowledge, experience and networks, they create opportunities for themselves and the generations that follow.

Through personal stories, candid reflections and lessons learned throughout their careers, they shared valuable insights into navigating challenges, creating opportunities and leading with confidence.

"When Failure Becomes Your Biggest Success"
Our 2025 Panel Talk brought together accomplished female leaders for a conversation that was as candid as it was inspiring. Under the theme “When Failure Becomes Your Biggest Success,” our speakers explored how pivotal setbacks often define leadership’s most meaningful chapters.
Hosted in Amsterdam’s Zuidas in partnership with Nautadutilh, the event gathered a room of exceptional women across industries for an afternoon of dialogue and connection.
The 2025 edition was also held in support of the Female Cancer Foundation, an organization committed to creating a world without cervical cancer. We were proud to contribute to their mission through donations raised during the event and through the sale of the Gift for Life bracelets, created in partnership with Schaap en Citroen.
