What kind of future are we creating? One where technology advances faster than trust? Or one where innovation goes hand in hand with humanity, opportunity and purpose? The future will be shaped by people who choose to create impact.
CHANGE brings corporate leaders, entrepreneurs, investors, educators and innovators, who believe that the greatest challenges of our time require more than conversation — they require people willing to build what comes next.
This edition explores one of society's most powerful forces for creating lasting change:
Their ability to create opportunity, build trust, connect people and inspire progress extends far beyond individual success.
At CHANGE Women, we explore what becomes possible when that influence is fully recognised, intentionally supported and translated into even greater impact.
Throughout one inspiring afternoon, you will hear from visionary leaders, entrepreneurs, investors and experts who are creating change at scale. Together, we will explore how to design a society where more people can contribute their full potential — and how each of us can become part of that journey.
13:30 — Doors Open. Registration & Welcome
14:00 — Opening. Designing the Future. Together.
CHANGE begins with a simple premise: the future will not be shaped by women or men alone.

14:45 — Panel I: New Reality. Old Systems.

16:15 — Keynote: Is Geneva built for Women to Succeed?
Drawing on economic evidence and the role of institutions, business networks and visibility, this keynote looks at how women's participation translates — or sometimes fails to translate — into access, influence and decision-making.
Elsa Floret, Director of Communication and Events, CCIG
16:45 — Panel II: Access to Power and Capital.
Beyond formal investment structures, we will look at the relationships and networks through which opportunities circulate, and ask what becomes possible when a broader range of people participate in both accessing and allocating capital.

Black with a touch of Sustainable Green
For CHANGE event, we invite you to wear black with a touch of green — a visual expression of the future we want to design together. And because sustainability starts with the choices we make, there is no need to buy something new. Rewear, restyle, borrow, vintage, upcycle — or simply add a green detail to something you already own.
CHANGE events are intentionally alcohol-free.
We want to create an environment where connection is built around presence, curiosity and meaningful conversation — where everyone feels equally comfortable participating and the energy of the room stays focused on people and ideas.
