“When women support each other, incredible things happen.” – Unknown

On the occasion of Women’s Month and the 8 March International Day of Women’s Rights, OWIT Lake Geneva invites you to a special afterwork in Lausanne dedicated to the power of women coming together.

This evening is all about real stories: moments when collaboration, mutual support, and shared courage between women created a meaningful impact – in careers, businesses, communities, or personal lives. You’ll be invited to reflect on your own experiences, share if you wish, and draw inspiration from others’ journeys of connection and sisterhood.

We will explore questions such as:

  • What happens when women truly back each other, instead of competing?
  • Which moments of collaboration have changed your path, even in small ways?
  • How can we cultivate more spaces where women feel seen, supported, and encouraged to grow together?

This afterwork is about leading by example – not through theory, but through our own stories.

This Lausanne afterwork will be hosted by our OWIT Lake Geneva Lausanne events volunteer team:

  • Alina – passionate about creating meaningful connections, community care and women uplifting each other through honest conversations and shared experiences.
  • Lili – an entrepreneur and communication professional, passionate about helping ideas, brands and people shine, and using storytelling to give visibility to what truly matters.
  • Cécile – passionate about sustainability, social impact and building bridges between communities, always looking for ways to turn values into concrete action and collaboration.

They will gently guide the flow of the evening, offering prompts, examples and space for participants to share at their own pace.

What’s in it for me?

You will leave with:

  • Inspiration and perspective

Real-life stories from other women (and allies) about courage, vulnerability, and collaboration that spark ideas for your own journey.

  • Recognition of your own story

A chance to pause and look at the women who have supported you – and the women you have supported – and what that has meant in your life.

  • Practical ideas for mutual support

Simple, human ways to create more collaboration and less isolation in your daily work and life.

  • Connection & community

Meet other professionals, entrepreneurs, women in reconversion and students in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere in Lausanne.

Let’s take one evening in Lausanne to celebrate what happens when women come together – and let our stories of connection, courage, and collaboration inspire what we build next, together.

Come join us for a discussion on this relevant topic and to brainstorm with like minded professionals over a drink, to meet old friends and make new ones!

Cost: Just the price of your drink (please settle your tab directly with the bar, as OWIT Lake Geneva is not responsible for bar bills).  

If you register but can no longer attend, please kindly cancel your registration so someone else can join.
