Women Who Change the Game 

Meet 7 women who will inspire your life and career. 

Wed, June 27, 2018

Doors open at 6:30PM. Event begins at 7PM

In spite of progress in the recent years, gender equality in the workplace remains a goal to strive for, and women are underrepresented in too many fields.

Ensuring women are given the same professional prospects and career choices as men are an important priority of Emmanuel Macron’s government. This is the reason why on June 27th, Arnaud Collery, Stand Up for Passion and the Consulate General of France in New York will give the floor to some of the women who are the drivers of this much needed cultural, social and economic change. 

Come meet scientists, media professionals, entrepreneurs and engineers who are all leaders in their fields. They will be given 7 minutes each to inspire you by sharing their own experiences and how they achieved the goals they set for themselves.
