Statements

"A 2-day conference on women empowerment, how exciting! But what does it say about our privileges? Which women might not have had the chance to attend it and how are we making sure that they attend next year? Let's challenge ourselves, because women supporting women is incredibly powerful!"

Cécile Deprez

Deutsches Zentrum für Luft-und Raumfahrt e.V.
„Let's go ladies. Get together, allow yourselves all the happiness in the world. There's enough of everything, including success. Together we can achieve a lot, and that is my strong conviction.”

Christine van Tübbergen

Content Queens Sisterhood
"Diverse leadership cannot be the goal of women's networks alone. It must be a common goal of all genders in the company. Networks should not be exclusive, but should be advanced together with men/colleagues in the company. It really must be on every agenda.“

Julia Eberl

Cloud Solution Architect Manager, Microsoft Deutschland GmbH
"Companies should seize every opportunity to shape their company succession in a future-oriented way. One of these opportunities is: diverse teams. They are demonstrably more successful. And that's why we need to put all women from STEM fields in the spotlight early on."

Dr. Caroline Dostal

Chief of female leadership, Speaker bei empowerment für Frauen
"A tech career is the best kind of self-care for a woman. The jobs are often well paid, with flexible hours and the option to work remotely. These are such important criteria, especially for women, who still do most of the care work and housework."

Mira Jago

Founder, Cuckoo Coding GmbH
Dear women, your STEM skills are your strength. Combine them with your unique female intuition and emotional intelligence to create an unparalleled leadership style. Let's meet at FEMWORX 2024!

Christine Müller

Controller, Baker Hughes
"I was thrilled by FEMWORX! Inspiring presentations, passionate discussions and a great network of committed women. A valuable opportunity to gain new perspectives!"

Sandra Lorenz

Head of Rossmann Brands, Dirk Rossmann GmbH
"The audience at our FEMWORX presentation on the topic of "Parenting Skills and Female Skills in the Power Pack" was highly motivated and asked exciting questions. The fair itself offers many opportunities for networking and meeting your own role models. Pure motivation and inspiration!“
