Event Details
Forté’s Women Business Leaders Symposium brings together early-career and mid-career professionals, current MBA students, and alumni for an evening of candid conversation, fresh perspectives, and meaningful connection.
Hosted by BCG, the evening features a keynote followed by a conversation with Forté MBA alumni about the career decisions, challenges, and opportunities they’ve encountered along the way.
The conversation continues at the Power Networking Expo & Reception, where you can connect with fellow attendees, leading employers, top business schools, and Forté alumni. Whether you’re considering an MBA, currently pursuing one, or navigating what comes next in your career, you’ll find people to learn from, questions worth asking, and new connections to make.
Building on Forté’s highly-successful spring 2026 symposium in Barcelona, this event creates another space in Europe for people committed to advancing women in business leadership to come together, exchange perspectives, and expand their networks.

Welcome & Opening Keynote
18:45 – 19:30
Alumni Voices: An MBA Panel Sit down with Forté MBA alumni who have already made the calls you are facing now, and hear how they made them. This panel puts you in the room with women who moved through the same crossroads. Building a career that fits your life. Reading what the market actually wants from you. Deciding when there is no clean answer. Asking for what you are worth.
They speak from where they stand today, shaped by what they have actually lived through.
So bring your questions. This is the kind of conversation that only happens when everyone is in the room together, and it will shape how you think about your own next move.
19:30 – 21:00
Power Networking Expo & Reception Build meaningful connections with fellow attendees, leading employers, and top business schools in an energetic networking environment designed to help you grow your career. If you are weighing up MBA programmes, looking for your next opportunity, or growing your network, this reception gives you the room to have those conversations properly.
Talk to company representatives about career paths and workplace culture. Meet admissions teams from leading business schools. From there, build relationships with professionals and Forté alumni who understand what your next step looks like and can help you get there.
Come with your story ready to tell. You will leave with connections that open doors well beyond the symposium itself.
