G100 European Meetings, along with (WEF) Spain, (W7) Italy, Austria, Switzerland and France (Cannes Film Festival), 5-22 May 2024.

Enact, Act, and Interact: Champions of Change, building beyond challenges. 


The public meetings began in Rome with a meet and greet hosted kindly by Soul Sister Marilena Francese Citelli and spouse Ambassador Piero Francese. The meet was a first one in Rome after the last year’s meeting during the Women Economic Forum (WEF), and this time on the cusp of this year’s W7 (G7) meeting in the presidency of Italy. We discussed the upcoming Women Economic Forum (WEF) in Rome in 2024 as also the Women Economic Forum (WEF) – Mediterranean being planned for 2025 covering 22 countries. 

On 7 May, at the WEF Iberoamerica and G100 Meetings in Madrid, the panels covered companies’ perspectives and practices on empowerment, diversity, and inclusion, providing a platform for influential decision-makers, women and male allies, from various private and governmental sectors for driving initiatives to close the gender gap.
