21st Annual UCT GSB Women in Business Conference

This year the UCT Graduate School of Business (UCT GSB) 21st Annual Women in Business Conference is coming to you.

Wherever you are in the world, whether you’re back in the office, or working from home in your pyjamas, join our virtual conversation on 21 August as we celebrate the resilience, strength and perseverance required of women in business today. This year’s theme is RISE and our speaker line-up includes Unilever’s Mechell Chetty, Suzanne Ackerman-Berman of Pick n Pay, Rajes Pillay of Discovery, ABSA’s Ntwani Shilubane, David Scott of RCL Foods, and the UCT GSB’s Director of Executive Education, Kumeshnee West.

Inclusive workspaces are still in short supply in 2020 and gender disparity continues to limit access to leadership roles for women. We’ll be looking into how to address this as we hear the inspiring stories of women who have been successful while setting the bar for accessibility to more women. We’ll also explore sustainable economic growth and the role of women empowerment in driving its success.

Importantly, we’ll be raising funds for financially excluded women to have the opportunity to study at the UCT GSB. Join us on 21 August to learn from people who are making meaningful changes in business, and be part of our mission to break down the barriers and stereotypes limiting women from realising their potential.
