DECIDIDAS
DECIDIDAS is a platform for leaders shaping the future by advancing women’s economic growth. We convene business leaders, entrepreneurs, policymakers, advocates, and changemakers from 30+ industries and 15+ countries through experiences that foster collaboration and drive impact.
Our annual Summit and Festival in Mexico City features 1,000+ attendees across three days of programming, including executive roundtables, mainstage sessions, and festival activations designed to connect leaders across industries and generations.
For the first time, we are bringing our experience to Oaxaca, turning one of Latin America’s most iconic cities into the epicenter of women’s leadership, culture, and economic impact.
