Since 1983, PWG’s mission has been clear: to connect women with a shared interest in developing professional networks, shaping meaningful careers, exchanging cultural insights, and staying ahead of trends in an ever-evolving professional landscape.

The concept of Longevity isn't new, and thanks to tech and medical advancements, millions of dollars are being invested into this space. However at PWG, we believe Longevity it's not just about adding years to our lives - it’s about adding clarity, energy, and purpose. And for professional women, often balancing leadership and legacy, pressure and purpose - this conversation is more important than ever.

Building on PWG’s 40+ year legacy of connecting and supporting professional women, this dedicated Longevity Mindset Summit blends science, wellbeing and strategic reinvention across career, health and wealth.

Effective Communication in Advancing Your Career:
Good communication is very important in all aspects of life, particularly as we seek to advance our career or pursue an entrepreneurial endeavour.

Yet, many of us struggle to communicate what we want to communicate in a clear, concise, engaging and compelling manner. Instead, selling ourselves short, over-explaining or not addressing our audience effectively can leave even those with the best qualifications or business ideas wondering why their career or business is not moving forward. In this workshop, participants will gain key insights and learn simple strategies or tools to help them communicate more authentically, more effectively, and most of all, more confidently.

Learn how to assess your retirement needs, understand the Swiss pension system, and avoid common pitfalls—particularly those affecting women who spend part of their careers working part-time. You’ll leave with practical strategies and clear steps for building long-term financial security and shaping a confident, independent future.
