Over the past decade, IWF Finland has grown into a vibrant, values-driven community of women leaders committed to advancing the IWF mission, embodying our local forum values Unite, Uplift and Unleash, and fostering meaningful global dialogue. This anniversary is both a moment to celebrate what we have built together, and an opportunity to look ahead to the future of leadership, connection, and impact. 

THE CELEBRATION PROGRAM 

The anniversary weekend will feature a thoughtfully curated program combining interactive conversations, shared experiences with local flavor, and inspiring social moments, all designed to spark dialogue and deepen connections across the IWF community. Helsinki, at its most beautiful in early summer, offers the perfect setting for reflection, sisterhood and renewal. 

We will begin the program on Friday afternoon at 2 pm with a warm welcome reception and leadership talks in central Helsinki. On Friday evening, we will host a festive anniversary dinner at Helsinki Bourse Club, where you’ll celebrate the night with IWF Finland members. Dinner will be served at the Club’s private restaurant, proudly awarded the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs coat of arms.

For Saturday, we will begin with a rejuvenating morning session themed “In Conversation With…”, followed by exciting behind the scenes visits and shopping opportunities at some of Finland’s most iconic institutions and brands, including the Finnish National Opera and Ballet, Marimekko, Andiata and Kalevala Jewelry. On Saturday evening, we will gather for a warm, relaxed dine-around hosted by IWF Finland's former and current board members & presidents.
