Panel Discussion: The Journey of a Founder
A group of founders from across the region will share their entrepreneurial journeys, as well as the obstacles they overcame to succeed as entrepreneurs. Studies show that women founders face more challenges than their male counterparts, such as lower access to capital, difficulty accessing a strong support system, and self-doubt. This panel will feature founders from different industries and sectors sharing their venture stories and detailing how they're paving the way for other women to thrive in a traditionally male-dominated space.
- Gabriela Rocha, Co-Founder & COO, Laboratoria

Panel Discussion: Championing Women Leaders in the Workplace
Women and male allies can be a powerful force to mentor and advocate for female colleagues. A panel of senior female corporate leaders and male allies will share key imperatives and explain what is needed to empower women to climb the corporate ladder and break the status quo.
