The National Women's Summit and Expo is a prestigious conference in Ghana that honors International Women's Day. Now in its sixth year, the summit serves as a dedicated day to recognize and celebrate the progress and achievements of women in various fields, while also inspiring the next generation through their success stories.

Aligned with the global theme of Inspire Inclusion, the summit will feature engaging panel discussions and Master Classes that focus on promoting gender equality and inspiring inclusion. These sessions will be led by a diverse group of accomplished women across different generations and professions.

This year, we are honored to have Prof. Nana Aba Appiah Amfo, Vice Chancellor of the University of Ghana, as our Keynote speaker. Prof. Amfo will deliver a thought-provoking speech on the topic of "Inspiring Inclusion in the workplace and community."

The National Women's Summit & Expo 6.0 is an incredible opportunity for women from all walks of life to come together, learn from each other, and be inspired by the achievements of fellow women. We invite you to be a part of this empowering event and contribute to the ongoing progress of women in Ghana.

Through these panel discussions, we aim to shed light on the importance of women's inclusion in leadership roles and the need for more opportunities for women in the creative arts industry. By bringing together influential voices and experts in these fields, we hope to inspire meaningful change and foster a more inclusive society for women.
