Annual IWEC Foundation Conference & Awards Ceremony

The IWEC Foundation Awards honor women-owned businesses throughout the world and facilitate connections between them.

Every year, chambers and affiliate women’s organizations nominate up to three women-owned businesses from their organizations for the IWEC Award, presented during our Annual Conference & Awards Ceremony, which is held in a different host city every fall.

Since 2007, IWEC has presented its awards to 575 women business owners across all sectors in the U.S. and abroad, nominated by our chamber partners and women organization affiliates. Learn more about these extraordinary women here.

The IWEC Foundation encourages awardees to implement and engage in Corporate Social Responsibility programs, which can range from local community support and education to healthcare issues to entrepreneurship development and mentorship.

The 2024 Annual Conference was going to be held in November in Washington DC Nov. 9-11th but was postponed to February 9-12th in Barcelona.
