Lotte Hotel Seoul Crystal Ballroom (2F)
Slogan
women, leading The great Transition
Humanity now stands before a sweeping wave of transformation. From the digital revolution driven by artificial intelligence (AI), to the shifting global order marked by rising hegemonies, to the urgent response to the climate crisis symbolized by carbon neutrality—the pace of change is accelerating like never before.
Yet every crisis brings opportunity. This is the time not to remain a “fast follower,” but to leap forward as a “first mover.” The 2025 Women Leaders Forum will serve as a platform to explore the visions put forth by women leaders in this era of upheaval and to chart together the course for the future.
Supported by: Ministry of Employment and Labor, Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, Seoul Metropolitan Government, Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry
