Our very own offices are an excellent place to start addressing long-held beliefs, customs, and culture, as such AMCHAM is proud to facilitate conversations surrounding this topic in conjunction with International Women's Day 2022 themed - "Break the Bias".


Join AMCHAM for our Women's Week on March 15-17, to uncover the many ways our perspectives can contribute to a new way of thinking and acting that can lead to greater diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in our working environments. Featuring many panel discussions, your participation in the conversation will help us explore actionable ways to combat bias at the workplace.


On day 3, we will explore the importance of changing the mindset towards advocating DEI at the workplace and encourage women to actively engage to remove the barriers and close the gap with technology.
