We are delighted to announce that registration is open for IWF’s 2025 Cornerstone Conference, Ubuntu: I am because we are, in Cape Town, South Africa, November 5-7.

Few places in the world embody the spirit of collective humanity quite like Cape Town, where the concept of Ubuntu perfectly expresses the importance of connection. And in a world with much uncertainty, it is vital to create and sustain our connections while learning about issues critical to effective leadership. In this context, we will explore the global economy, a shifting geopolitical landscape, and the importance of the arts. We will hear from our Ideas Remaking the World presenters – IWF’s own innovators, instigators, and disruptors – and much more.

We hope you will join us in a city whose vibrant culture and rich traditions stand as a powerful example of community, resilience, and transformation. There is no better place to connect, catalyze, and celebrate women’s leadership. 

Should you have questions or need assistance, please reach out to a member of the IWF registration team at iwf@executivevents.com or by phone at +1-866-216-8040 (toll free) or +1-303-586-3316.
