Speakers:

Hear from world-class professionals.

Each year the IPWS Summit brings together a diverse set of professionals to take the stage and share their personal and professional experiences. This year brings together speakers from different nationalities, cities, entrepreneurial and corporate backgrounds. Each speaker has made a significant impact on the lives of those around them with their own small and large acts of courage.

Networking

Make valuable connections.

The Summit is a great opportunity to get your name, or your company name spread around a well-connected community. You’ll have the opportunity to network with business and community leaders, entrepreneurs, top professionals and influencers from Shanghai and beyond while celebrating role models in Business, Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Social Contribution.

My favorite part was discussing the topics the speakers presented during the social break out periods. Everyone was engaged and excited to share their perspectives. The break outs were not just networking but extension of what we were learning. This was very special to IPWS.

Experience Unravel

Build your story.

Unique to the IPWS Summit, each year during the half-day conference there is an active conferencing portion included into the agenda. This year, we are proud to be partnering with Unravel.

What started as a small gathering in the corner of a bar has turned into a monthly event that sells out 150+ tickets within minutes.

Unravel has become a Shanghai-sensation, and while it has evolved over the past two years, their Unravel Live segment has drawn over 100 people, from students to c-level executives to share personal stories — ranging from hilarious to tragic — in front of hundreds of people.

Being vulnerable, being raw, being real is an act that takes real courage — yet Unravel has provided the tools and the platform for people to harness their own courage and share it with the world.

As this year’s Summit theme is The Courage to Lead, it was a natural fit to include Unravel as our active conferencing partner.

Be Inspired

Take your career to the next level.

Do you want to become a better leader? A better speaker? A better networker? A better mentor? Better at advocating for yourself?

There are many things we aspire to do or become, but often lack the tools, and ultimately the Courage to make it happen.

The goal of the IPWS Summit is to give you space to reflect on what you want to achieve, the tools you need to go out and do it, and the inspiration to act.

The WLA

Celebrate female leaders.

Throughout the half-day IPWS Summit, the winners of the Women Leadership Awards will be announced.

The WLA is the longest running international award in China for women leaders, and was the only such award for over a decade. The WLA recognises professional women who have emerged as leaders in their field. As leaders, these inspiring women – and since 2016, men supporting women – have made a marked difference in our community and have forged paths for others to follow. The WLA recognizes leadership in women (and men) from all nationalities and across all industries. Nominations are reviewed and winners are selected by a fully independent Jury, made up of men and women representing a diverse set of professional backgrounds in Shanghai.
