IPWS’ biggest event of the year, the Women Leadership Awards Ceremony is coming up this Saturday, May 29th, and we can’t wait!
This time we’ll be dressing up in our finest for a festive 3-course dinner event. We will celebrate the 2021 Women Leadership Awards winners and nominees at the beautiful Langham Hotel in Xintiandi.
If you’re still hesitating whether or not to buy a ticket, allow us to convince you. Here are 6 reasons why you shouldn’t miss our biggest night of the year!
1 Support a cause that matters
IPWS’ vision is to empower female professionals to shape the future of leadership worldwide. One way we do this is with the WLA: by recognizing and celebrating professional women (and men supporting women) who have emerged as leaders in their field. We want to change the culture of women minimizing or apologizing for their hard work and success. We want to celebrate everyone who is dedicated to their cause, encourage them to stand proud and tall behind it, and inspire others by sharing their achievements and success.
2 Get inspired and become a better leader
During the evening, you’ll not only find out who the winners are in all 7 categories, but you’ll also hear from the incredible Emily Chang, CEO of McCann Worldgroup, China, our keynote speaker of the night. In addition, the event is MC’d by the fabulous Anna Chitty, 2019 WLA winner and CEO of Starcom China. We look forward to hearing about their journeys to becoming the celebrated leaders that they are.
3 Mingle and connect
It’s a Saturday night and the goal is to have a great time while shining a spotlight on inspirational leaders. Enjoy dinner and drinks together with Shanghai’s movers and shakers, and mingle with finalists, jury members, IPWS Board members, and all the incredible professionals that make our unique community to what it is today.
4 Wine and dine
Saturday night wouldn’t be right without good food and wine. We can’t wait to be spoiled by the Langham’s 3-course dinner. What’s on the menu? Oven roasted tomato soup to start, and Roasted chicken breast with black truffle potato as the main. And of course wine throughout the night, plus a delicious dessert to wrap things up. Vegetarian option also available, just let us know when you book your ticket!
5 Bring your friends
What’s better than having a good time while supporting a great cause? Doing it with your friends! Get a group ticket for 6 at a discounted price, and you’ll have reserved seating together.
6 After party at the rooftop
After the WLA winners are announced and plates cleared, we invite everyone to stay for the after party at the Langham terrace. Relax and enjoy the rest of the night with cocktails and beautiful views over Xintiandi.
