Event Recap

As the clock ticked closer to 4 p.m. on the first Thursday of 2026, AWiBers and guests poured through the gates of Hilton in waves, hyped for what’s coming. Women from diverse professional backgrounds gathered with a shared purpose: to unpack Agency in leadership through a highly interactive World Café- style experience.

As the clock ticked closer to 5 p.m. on Thursday, November 6, 2025, AWiBers, guests, and men poured through the gates of Hilton in waves, buzzing with anticipation. You could feel it in the air – the eagerness to witness how this extraordinary evening would unfold. The concept, “Men Champions of Change,” was to be brought to life through a highly interactive World Café-style experience.

On the evening of October 9th, AWiB Connects @ the Hilton once again brought together members and guests for an evening of connection and conversation. The gathering offered a space to exchange ideas, reflect on shared experiences, and engage in purposeful dialogue. On each table, a thought-provoking networking question awaited: How do you navigate through emotionally charged conversations to stay present and truly listen to understand? The question set the tone for an evening that promised depth, honesty, and reflection.
