#inspireinclusion with micebook at International Women's Day 2024
On March 8th, 2024, as the world celebrated International Women’s Day, micebook proudly presented its third annual IWD event, passionately aligned with the global theme of #InspireInclusion.
A 140-strong crowd event professionals came together for a day of inspirational and thought-provoking content sessions and empowerment workshops.
This year, we looked to break away from previous traditions of hosting a female-only event and extend a warm welcome to the entire industry with the goal of a brighter tomorrow for all.
What to expect
When women themselves are inspired to be included, there’s a sense of belonging, relevance and empowerment.
IWD 2024 aims to cultivate environments where every participant feels a deep sense of belonging, relevance, and empowerment.
Expect to immerse yourself in a learning journey featuring engaging discussions and content streams that revolve around cultivating belonging, understanding the relevance of diverse topics such as technology’s impact, and empowering attendees with practical takeaways to drive inclusivity in the workplace and personal growth.
