European Professional Women Network (EPWN)
I am proud to be part of that excellent group of people. Things are done smartly, women want equality and change people's mindset in the working place.
The main aggregator is to be a woman. Aside, it is not a vertical network: members come from various industries, and are all very international.
Members support each other, share their expertise, and the Staff organized some high level conferences every single month all over Europe.
More about the network on EPWN's site.

Etheryl: an excellent platform to bring value to your networking group

Malika Mir-Silber, réseau EPWN: «Notre club de dirigeantes veut montrer des réussites au féminin, sans être féministe» Par Sylvaine Luckx
ZDNet France - Mercredi 8 mars 2006 (full article)

Earlier today, I was looking for blogs about EPWN on google: I found that article posted on ZDNet.fr.

I met Malika a couple of years ago at an excellent EPWN event in Paris. Malika is very dynamic and successful, with an impressive career in IT and at Microsoft. Congratulations for that interview!
