United States. The Women's Leadership Forum, organized by the SEMA Businesswomen's Network (SBN), seeks to provide tools to women in the automotive industry.
This three-day event, designed specifically for women in the automotive aftermarket, has established itself as a space for learning, networking and empowerment.
The Women's Leadership Forum bringstogether industry experts and professionals in specialized sessions and inspiring conferences. Participants can choose between different areas of learning, focused on professional leadership and personal development. In addition, the event offers an environment conducive to the creation of support networks, where attendees can share experiences, generate opportunities and find a community that promotes their growth.
With more than 50 women participating each year, this forum has been key to boosting the female presence in an industry traditionally dominated by men. Membership in SBN grants exclusive benefits, such as a reduced registration fee, which facilitates access to this training and collaboration space.
Despite the fact that women make up more than 50% of the workforce in the United States, only 35% of management positions are held by women. In the corporate sphere, women hold only 10.4% of leadership positions in Fortune 500 companies. These data reflect the need to continue promoting spaces such as the Women's Leadership Forum, where women can strengthen their executive presence and learn strategies to make their voice heard in the sector.
The event not only offers practical tools for professional growth, but also focuses on the development of key skills, such as effective communication, building strategic relationships, and generating impact in organizations at all levels.
A space for diversity and inclusion
Female leadership continues to face significant gaps, especially for women of color, who make up less than 1% of CEOs in the Fortune 500. That is why the Women's Leadership Forum is also presented as a platform to make these inequalities visible and generate strategies to promote inclusion and equity in the automotive industry.
With a renewed focus and a growing community of women leaders, the Women's Leadership Forum continues to be a pivotal event for those looking to boost their careers and transform the industry from female leadership.
The event will be held March 11-13 at the Landy Hotel, Orlando, Florida.
