2015 Colloquium Venue
MetLife Building, New York City
1095 Avenue of the Americas (West 42nd and 6th — Across from Bryant Park) 23rd Floor
The Colloquium is a program of the Global Summit of Women, which will mark its 25th year as an international business and economic forum for women from May 14-16, 2015 in Sao Paulo, Brazil. This premier gathering of business, professional, and entrepreneurial women expects 1,000 participants from every corner of the world. Details about the upcoming and past Summits can be found at globewomen.org/globalsummit.
The Colloquia always impress and inspire me -- this one, in particular. Perhaps the moment in which we are living helped create additional focus, energy and drive but the past day and a half-spurred ideas, strategies and connections. I was really inspired and so appreciated being a part of it.
--Tara Giunta, Partner and Co-Chair of Global Diversity Council, Paul Hastings LLP
The Colloquium was insightful, realistic, inspirational, and motivational on the role DEI really plays in organizations. We need press and coverage of these great works.
-- Dr. Cindy Pace, VP, Global Chief Diversity & Inclusion Officer, MetLife
You had a wonderful Colloquium. The talent in the room and data shared were phenomenal. I am looking forward to the Summit. Hopefully, by then, I will have interviewed some of the Colloquium participants for my book on inclusion.
-- Dr. Deborah Ashton, President, Planet Perspective
As I travel home tonight, I sincerely thank you for the invitation to attend the Colloquium. Being in the presence of and learning from the incredible leaders was a life-changing experience. Since the Colloquium, I have been awash in ideas to adapt my work because of the insights I encountered. Congratulations on a fantastic colloquium. It was an experience I won't soon forget.
-- Nicole Moses, Director of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging, J Crew
What an incredible event! I was honored to be included. Thank you again for having me congratulations on an enormously successful event.
As usual, the Colloquium was super informative. I always find the presentations and conversations valuable and thought provoking. I can't say the same of many DE&I conferences. DE&I seems to be turning into a vapid talking point and money-making endeavor for many organizations. I always leave your meetings inspired and motivated.
--Kellie Molin-Kenol, VP and Global Head of Diversity Equity and Inclusion, Endo International
I always get so much out of the dialogue and appreciate the opportunity to learn and to engage with such strong women.
-- Charmaine Brown, Director of Diversity and Inclusion, Fannie Mae

I enjoyed participating and networking with thought leaders and peers in my space!

Thank you again for an exceptional Colloquium with so many amazing leaders. I always appreciate how you curate a great set of topics and speakers and make these meetings well worth the time investment.
