Monaco is going all out for International Women’s Day on 8th March with a huge roster of events taking place across the Principality, from the PowHer forum to mentorship sessions, workplace discussions, wellness activities and live music.

While Monaco’s official PowHer event will be the main event on 8th March, other initiatives across the Principality will also explore the themes of female leadership, workplace inclusivity, well-being and culture.

The Columbus Hotel Monte-Carlo, the only female-led hotel in Monaco, will be marking the occasion with a series of events centred on empowerment, personal growth and well-being, featuring expert-led discussions and networking opportunities. Starting on 5th March, the hotel will welcome #Girlboss, a speed mentoring event organised by SheCanHeCan in partnership with AFCEM. Open to young women aged 11 to 25, the session aims to connect students with female leaders from various industries.
