On 16th April, WIL Europe organised a Networking Afterwork in Madrid, bringing together Members, Fellows, and special guests for an engaging exchange. Coming to WIL's first ever event in Madrid, participants were warmly welcomed by WIL Board Member Marielle de Spa. This was a timely opportunity for our community to foster connections and solidify our network in Spain, especially in Madrid, ahead of WIL Annual Gathering in November in this iconic city. 

On 25th February 2026, WIL Members, Fellows and Talents gathered in London for a dinner hosted by our President, Thaima Samman. This was an opportune occasion for our network to catch up and reconnect in person with positive and inspiring women.

On 27th November, WIL Board Member Emanuela Palazzani hosted a Connect & Mingle Afterwork in Milan, bringing together Members, Fellows and Talents for an engaging evening of exchange. The gathering offered a valuable opportunity to connect, share insights, and strengthen our Italian network.  

On 16th October, WIL hosted an inspiring Connect & Mingle Afterwork event in Paris. It was a wonderful gathering of WIL Members, Fellows, Talents, and special guests, fostering meaningful connections, engaging conversations, and the exchange of ideas. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the evening such a lively and inspiring gathering!

On 26th March 2025, Sylvie Goulard, former French Minister of the Armed Forces, former Member of the European Parliament, and professor in sustainability and green finance at Bocconi School of Management, joined WIL Europe members for an exclusive exchange at Cabinet Samman in Paris.

Moderated by Nathalie Wright, WIL Vice-President and Board Director at Keolis, Quadient, and Amundi, the discussion brought together a diverse group for a thoughtful conversation on key issues shaping Europe today.

This International Women Day, our network was once again active in promoting a positive message of female leadership, creating opportunities for connection, and driving change.

Within the network, we organised a lunch with a few of our UK-based members during a visit by our President, Thaima Samman, to the capital.
