The Standard Bank Top Women Conference returns this year, aiming to empower 15,000 influential women decision-makers from South Africa and beyond. Hosted by Topco Media in partnership with Standard Bank, the event will take place on November 25-26, 2024, at the Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg. This prestigious gathering is set to be a defining moment in the journey of women’s empowerment, featuring a global network of entrepreneurs, thought leaders, and innovators dedicated to advancing gender equality and accelerating business growth across Africa.
A Legacy of Empowerment and Equality
Each year, the conference brings women leaders together to discuss strategies for breaking barriers and creating equitable opportunities. In 2022, Topco Media and Standard Bank highlighted women-owned businesses, increasing awareness of gender equality initiatives. By 2023, the conference addressed issues such as opportunity inequality, empowerment, gender-based violence, and the challenges of remote working for women under the impactful theme, “Rise Above The Noise.” This theme fueled conversations aimed at global gender empowerment, offering attendees actionable insights and strategies to overcome barriers.
