Annual IWEC Foundation Conference & Awards Ceremony

The IWEC Foundation Awards honor women-owned businesses throughout the world and facilitate connections between them.

Every year, chambers and affiliate women’s organizations nominate up to three women-owned businesses from their organizations for the IWEC Award, presented during our Annual Conference & Awards Ceremony, which is held in a different host city every fall.

Since 2007, IWEC has presented its awards to 377 women business owners across all sectors in the U.S. and abroad, nominated by our chamber partners and women organization affiliates. Learn more about these extraordinary women here.

The IWEC Foundation encourages awardees to implement and engage in Corporate Social Responsibility programs, which can range from local community support and education to healthcare issues to entrepreneurship development and mentorship.

Our 2019 event will be held in New Delhi, India, hosted by FICCI-FLO from November 10-13th.  This follows on the heels of our successful 11th Annual Conference which was held from September 9-12th, 2018, on the campus of China Europe International Business School located in the Pudong area in Shanghai, China.

The theme of next year’s conference is “Connecting Women Businesses Globally: Leading the Way to Innovation and Integration” 

Educational content will be presented by keynote speakers and panelists and next  year’s IWEC honorees will be presented their awards at the conference.
