Presented by the Global Women's Leadership Network, each Global Innovation Dialogue is a 90-minute forum in which participants explore challenging (and occasionally counter-intuitive) ideas in a small group setting. Through facilitated discussion, the conversation develops into authentic communication, unleashing of passion, and commitment to action.
