We are pleased to invite you to join the NBCC International Women’s Day 2027, taking place on Monday, 8 March 2027, from 15:00 to 17:30 CET at Amsterdam Schiphol.

This annual NBCC event brings together business leaders, professionals, and changemakers from the UK and the Netherlands to celebrate women’s achievements, exchange perspectives, and take meaningful action towards advancing gender equality and inclusion.

This year’s event will focus on building a world that is diverse, equitable, and inclusive — one where differences are valued, opportunities are accessible, and everyone is empowered to contribute and succeed. Together, we will explore how organisations can challenge stereotypes, address unconscious bias, and create environments where all individuals feel represented and supported.

What to expect during this inspiring afternoon, participants will:

• Explore the importance of gender equality and inclusive leadership in driving stronger organisations and communities.
• Hear from influential leaders and role models sharing their experiences, insights, and perspectives on advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion.
• Discuss practical actions to challenge barriers and biases that limit opportunities for women.
• Connect and collaborate with professionals and leaders committed to creating meaningful change.
• Gain insights into developing leadership skills and building more inclusive workplaces.

Featured speakers include:

• HMA Chris Rampling, The British Ambassador to the Netherlands
• HRH Princess Annemarie de Bourbon de Parme, Duchess of Parma and Piacenza
• Marguerite Soeteman-Reijnen, Former Chair of SER Topvrouwen & Non-Executive Director at Siemens and MN
• Liesje Schreinemacher, Deputy Secretary-General of the Benelux Union
• Clare Allen, Senior Manager at Vialto Partners
• Additional business leaders and CEOs committed to advancing inclusive leadership
