Forum history
The Forum was created in 2017 with the first live summit in New York, and then extended to London to showcase the expertise of women in finance and business, as well as advance female thought leadership and career development. Throughout the years, our panels have featured many exceptional women, including but not limited to: Madeleine Albright (first female United States Secretary of State 1997 − 2001); Arianna Huffington (founder and CEO of Thrive Global); Barbara Novick (Vice Chairman and co-founder of BlackRock) and Melanie Whelan (former CEO of SoulCycle).
