International Women’s Day 2026 – Give To Gain Webinar. Hosted by PMI Germany. 8th March 2026

Event Overview

The Women in Projects Network proudly continues its six-year tradition of celebrating International Women’s Day. This year, we embrace the powerful global theme — *Give To Gain* — focusing on mentoring, giving back to our community, supporting voluntary social good, and enhancing our marketability and career impact.

Theme: Give To Gain

The IWD 2026 ‘Give To Gain’ Campaign encourages a mindset of generosity and collaboration.

‘Give To Gain’ emphasizes the power of reciprocity and support. When people, organizations, and communities give generously, opportunities and support for women increase. Giving is not a subtraction—it’s intentional multiplication. When women thrive, we all rise.

Whether through donations, knowledge, resources, infrastructure, visibility, advocacy, education, training, mentoring, or time, contributing to women’s advancement helps create a more supportive and interconnected world.
