Scheduled for Monday, 2nd March, just before International Women’s Day, the breakfast event presents an exceptional opportunity for women leaders in the watch industry to connect with fellow professionals and exchange insights regarding their experiences in the marketplace.
Early-career women in the watch sector will also gain inspiration from seasoned leaders, learning how these accomplished individuals have navigated their careers to achieve success.
The event expects participation from retail executives, brand leaders, and media representatives. It will commence with a breakfast networking session, followed by two panel discussions designed to provide attendees with a deeper understanding of their colleagues’ journeys and career paths.
