Without even noticing, May has already crept in through our doors, which indicates one thing – the ambitious event for women’s growth and inspiration “Leader Forum” will be here soon, soon. It will take place a little earlier than other years, on May 19, allowing every active woman in Latvia to bloom in full bloom. This year, “Forums LĪDERE” promises to be even grander, hosting 2,500 visitors in the spacious premises of the Ķipsala Exhibition Center and allowing more than 100,000 interested people to enjoy the event remotely for free. The organizers of the forum promise to give the ladies not only the necessary dose of inspiration, but also various surprises throughout the day.
Similar to previous forums, this year’s event program is also divided into three large parts. The first session is dedicated to women’s professional development and the ability to achieve more. Latvian poet and playwright Māra Zālīte will reveal what the brilliance and misery of a leader can be. Politician and former Minister of the Interior Marija Golubeva will talk about the external and internal structure of a woman. Clinical and health psychologist Aija Krišjāne will encourage you to think about decisions that can change everything. Anete Blizena, a member of the board of the Riga National Zoo, invites you to go in search of personality. To the question “Is it possible and at all necessary to catch up with everything?” Kristīne Jarve, Deloitte’s leading partner in the Baltic States, will encourage you to answer. On the other hand, entrepreneur and plastic surgeon Evija Rodke will invite women to think about their well-being.
The second part of “LEADER FORUM” is usually devoted to relationships, family and interaction. Politician and lawyer Ieva Brante will open this session with the topic of self-love. Family psychotherapist Gatis Līdums invites you to think about humility and why it is sometimes needed. Paralympian Diāna Krūmiņa will share her experience story about the path from thorns to stars. Teen therapist Nils Sachs Konstantinovs will reveal how to raise a happy child. On the other hand, humorist and improvisational theater actor Jānis Skutelis will reveal what happens when a man remains thoughtful.
In the final part of the forum, lecturers will talk and share advice about and around a woman’s personal development. “Is your health worth a handbag?” Zane Rēvalde, manager of VC4 branches and group companies, will encourage you to answer. Fashion artist and painter Elita Patmalniece will invite you to think more positively and greet each new day with a smile. About the fact that it is never too late, Sintija Purgale, a participant of the “Miriam” program, will share her experience. Singer Marija Naumova will give everyone a compass that will help them find their way to themselves. Theologian Kaspars Simanovičs will invite you to think about what the world is holding on to. In the last session of the event, Solvita Kabakova, the founder of “Forums LĪDERE”, as usual, will give a little insight into the program of the 2024 forum.
In addition to the presentations of 16 charismatic lecturers, the visitors in person will be welcomed from the very first to the last minute by various musical, culinary and other sensory delights, performances, as well as surprises prepared by the partners of “Forums LĪDERE”. Although it is currently not possible to buy tickets for the event, the organizers promise that a day full of inspiration, healthy reflection and full of new knowledge is guaranteed even for those who will watch the forum remotely.
