Part II: UNWWO Global Women Leadership Summit / Women in Web3 Gala

Time: 5:30pm – 9:30pm
Theme: Empowering Women Shape the Future of Ownership Economy

The evening celebrates global women leaders, connecting pioneers in technology, finance, culture and creativity. The gathering bridges technology and humanity, finance and art, policy and purpose—creating a living blueprint for what inclusive innovation looks like in the ownership age.

Women are natural architects of community and collaboration—values that sit at the heart of the ownership economy’s participatory design. Women’s leadership is not just a call for equality; it is a strategy for better innovation, stronger governance, and more sustainable impact.
