The MAKERS Conference is a global leadership event that brings together more than 600 of the most powerful names in business, entertainment, tech and finance to explore ways to accelerate women’s equality. Each year, this three-day experience provides the inspiration that moves people to action via provocative conversations, compelling storytelling and onstage pledges to advance change.
As we work towards building a community of empowered women, we are hosting the first-ever MAKERS India conference. Through our conference, we aim to bring together the most powerful stories and personalities together under one roof and accelerate the women’s movement in our country.
The MAKERS Conference, India 2021 brings together influential women leaders from diverse fields for the first time to explore ways to accelerate women’s equality. It will bring new perspectives to conversations that can propel action on themes like equality and inclusivity for women in the workplace. From policy trends to entrepreneurship and diversity initiatives, the conference will take a fresh look at the possibilities that can come with new pathways and more power to Indian women.
With its 1st India Edition, the conference is a milestone in India’s journey of gender equality at work. We intend to provide inspiration that moves people to action via provocative conversations, compelling storytelling and pledges to advance change through a two-day immersive experience at The MAKERS Conference, India 2021.
