FIX THE WORKPLACE NOT WOMENIn cooperation with DeloitteWhile the digital world increases the pace of business change and drives greater transparency, many of the traditional barriers to female progression remain. Societal norms, stereotypes and deeply engrained institutional, cultural and operational norms within organizations must be addressed to drive greater gender balance. Join us for an interactive session on the pre-conditions that need to be in place to drive meaningful and sustainable change. Collectively we will discuss the strategies required to successfully break down traditional barriers, and focus on practical actions that will create the change required to build inclusive organizations.Lead Conversationist: Emma Codd, Managing Partner for Talent at Deloitte.

DIGITAL PLATFORMS IN PEACEMAKINGIn cooperation with Crisis ActionThis session will explore how digital platforms can lead to protect civilians and enhance women’s participation in peacemaking. Armed conflict and intercommunal tension affects millions of men, women and children across the world. From Syria to South Sudan, such armed conflicts are becoming ever more complex. The World Bank estimates that 1.2 billion people, roughly one fifth of the world’s population, are affected by some form of violence or insecurity. Even though, women bear the brunt of the impact of conflict, they are systematically excluded from peace processes and policymaking. Yet digital tools and platforms are offering new ways to give voice to those with lived experience of conflict and to generate positive impact for civilians at risk. Lead Conversationists: Nicola Reindorp, Deputy Executive Director of Crisis ActionJanah Ncube, Global Campaigns Director

WOMEN, WORK AND WAGES: CLOSING THE GENDER GAP In cooperation with the World Economic ForumRecent estimates suggest that increasing economic gender parity by 25% could increase global GDP by US$5.3 trillion by 2025. A number of countries have recognized the economic impact of accelerating gender parity, and have taken proactive steps toward closing economic gaps. What are some promising national examples? How can we scale national public-private partnerships to close the gender gap?

FROM EUROPE TO SILICON VALLEY: ARE WE READY FOR GLOBAL PRIVACY STANDARDS?In cooperation with SalesforceCitizens around the world increasingly use the digital space to socialize, purchase goods, and participate in public discourse. Many of these digital interactions are underpinned by the exchange of personal data. This has resulted in great innovation, but has also raised concerns around the privacy of personal data. While many are just beginning to consider these issues, the European Union is already taking steps to try and impose a global privacy standard through GDPR. At the same time, California passed the first comprehensive data privacy bill in the United States, and calls for a U.S. Federal Privacy Law are increasing. This interactive session will discuss whether developing a global standard for data privacy is a good thing for citizens, businesses, and the future pace of digitization.

PROMOTING LEADERSHIP: PATHWAYS, POSITIONS AND POWER In cooperation with The Wilson CenterThe Global Women’s Leadership Initiative Index is the first index to measure women’s leadership across all sectors and levels of government and to define the key elements of leadership: pathways, positions and power. The Leadership Index shows us how women get into positions of leadership, which roles they occupy, and how much power they hold. We explore the data through three pillars – pathways, positions and power – to understand the correlations between different variables, decisions and policies and how those decisions ultimately affect how much power women hold in public office.Lead Conversationist: Gwen Young, Director, The Women in Public Service Project

10.30- 11.00TECHNOLOGY AND THE POLITICS OF WARVenue: Harpa Conference Centre, SilfurbergTechnology defines and governs warfare, it is the instrumentality of warfare. Intelligent things, both networked and teamed with human warfighters, are and will increasingly be a ubiquitous presence on the future battlefield. AI will be fighting cyber adversaries.

It has become harder to distinguish the winners from the losers. What does this new disorder mean for leaders, for societies?Conversationists:Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović, President of CroatiaClare Hutchinson, Special Representative for Women Peace and Security, NATO

SPOTLIGHT INITIATIVE In cooperation with the UN Foundation

THE MONEY TALK In cooperation with the Fair Pay Innovation LabWhy does the gender pay gap prove so intractable? What is standing in the way of fair pay for all? How does a sustainable pay strategy succeed, and does it ultimately pay? Where are demands made of companies, where are demands made of politics, and at which interfaces is there a need for optimisation? Our concern lies in the practical implementation of pay equity in everyday business operations. To meet the challenges in everyday business operations, it needs concrete solutions and practical measures. In order to develop new ideas and sound out innovative potential, the workshop brings all the actors on the labour market to the table – in quite concrete terms.

VALUES-DRIVEN LEADERSHIP AND THE ROLE OF CORPORATIONS IN EFFECTING SOCIAL CHANGEIn cooperation with SalesforceThe 4th Industrial Revolution is a time of tremendous progress and opportunity. But it is also a time of concern over rising inequality and the strain placed on societies by the rapid technological change. Corporations can be amazing platforms for change, but they cannot afford caring only for their shareholders any more. New leadership models call for stronger values and an increasingly important role for stakeholders -employees, the communities in which we live and work, and the environment.

THE PURSUIT OF GENDER EQUALITY IN THE AGE OF BIG DATA In cooperation with the OECD Design of data-driven instruments / algorithms must factor in gender-based dynamics at play. In the past couple of years, there have been lively debates about how big data – while offering many opportunities - may perpetuate existing inequalities and stereotypes in the society. There is major scope to improve transparency and accountability around these issues. One example are the online ads which maybe showing bias against women by serving ads for high-paying jobs disproportionately to men. We aim to shape the talks around identifying opportunities offered by big data but also its ‘’dark side’’ when it comes to closing gender gaps/ removing stereo-types in the society.
