About LEWAS
Now in its ninth edition, LEWAS 2023 engages, empowers, and elevates issues that are at the very heart of the energy industry. What makes LEWAS even more important is in addition to recognising women it also recognises male advocates and corporations who champion women in energy, enabling women to shatter stereotypes and support the industry to advance.
Powering Tomorrow.
Tomorrow's challenges demand a formidable force of talent - one that can ignite transformation with force and flexibility. We celebrate excellence, ignite thinking and foster dialogues that uncover pivotal trends that shape the future of work.
