On October 1, 2024, 100 Women in Finance (100WF) will host its highly anticipated Impact Investing Symposium at @Ease 605 in New York City. Building on the success of last year’s sold-out event, this year’s symposium promises to be a powerful gathering of finance industry leaders, investors, and thought leaders dedicated to shaping the future of sustainable and impact investing.
Event Highlights: The symposium will focus on the rapidly growing impact investing ecosystem, featuring panels and discussions on critical topics such as:
- Environmental Capital: Strategies for investing in clean energy and sustainable financing.
- Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: How to integrate DEI principles into investor decision-making.
- Sustainable Investment Leadership: Insights from top industry leaders.
Speakers and Attendees: This year’s event will feature a prestigious lineup of speakers, including:
- Gina McCarthy – Former White House National Climate Advisor and U.S. EPA Administrator

- Wendy Cromwell – Vice Chair & Head of Sustainable Investment, Wellington Management
- Leslie Biddle – Deputy Undersecretary for Commercialization and Finance, U.S. Department of Energy
Last year’s event gathered nearly 250 leaders, investors, and students from the tri-state area. The success of that event underscored the increasing importance of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors in investment strategies.
Why Attend:
- Networking: Connect with industry peers and leaders who are driving change in impact investing.
- Learning: Gain insights into the latest trends and strategies in sustainable financing.
- Collaborating: Work with like-minded professionals to overcome challenges in the impact investing landscape.
Supporting Gender Parity in Finance: The symposium is part of 100 Women in Finance’s Vision 30/40, an initiative to achieve gender parity in the finance industry by 2040. As Carole K. Crawford, 100WF Board Chair, emphasizes, “This symposium reflects our commitment to fostering professional enrichment and advancing female talent in the finance industry.”
