INSEAD Women at Work Conference 2019

INSEAD Women at Work Conference 2020

About the INSEAD Women at Work Conference

The inaugural INSEAD Women at Work Conference was held in 2018 in celebration of INSEAD’s first female MBAs, who had graduated 50 years prior. Following the model from the first two years, the 2020 conference will be a full-day event (including lunch and dinner) that will provide a forum for researchers who study gender and the experience of women in business and related contexts to present and discuss the latest ideas, results, and innovative projects. Presenters will span multiple perspectives (e.g., sociology, psychology, economics, management) as well as methodologies including lab and field experiments, surveys, and analyses of qualitative and archival data.

Our goals in previous years were to increase our understanding of the root causes of gender inequality and the consequences of gender diversity, and share solution-focused methods for organisations working to develop gender balance by fully engaging and facilitating all potential talent. For 2020, we are focusing on research located at the intersections of gender issues with various identities and contexts, including but not limited to race, ethnicity, culture, national identity, education, economic inequality, industry, etc. – as they relate to gender at work. We feel this theme is particularly relevant given the unique location and position of Abu Dhabi as a hub where culture and gender intersect in fascinating ways. Thus, the topic of the 2020 Women at Work Conference is: “Intersections of Identities in Context.”

This year's conference will take place on Monday, 30 March, 2020 (registration will open at 8:30 am on 30 March, and the conference will adjourn after dinner that same day). The conference location is: TBD, INSEAD Middle East campus (Abu Dhabi).
