This year’s Women Leaders Reception at the World Economic Forum in Davos marks 11 years since the beginning of an inspiring tradition. This annual event is dedicated to building community and celebrating the vision and leadership of the remarkable women who attend the annual meeting. With a shared purpose of inspiring community and positive global impact, we were proud to celebrate and unite some of the decorated women in their fields.

We host this special gathering annually to foster connection, collaboration and change, spearheaded by our female leaders. Yesterday's event was a powerful moment to reflect on these women’s pivotal role in building a bright and inclusive future. Thank you to all who attended for your spirit and fellowship as we start the week, we look forward to seeing you in your scarves around Davos!

Special thanks to our co-sponsors, The Adecco Group, Bayer, Pinterest and Tourise for helping us keep this movement going!

As the year draws to a close, we’re reminded that the holiday season means something different to each of us. Yet, no matter where we are or how we celebrate, this time of year offers a unique opportunity to come together, reflect and share gratitude.

In that spirit, we invite you to watch a short video celebrating the connections that unite us, the unexpected joys we find together and our hopes for the year ahead.

All of us at APCO are grateful for the continued trust and support of our clients, partners, friends and families, and for the privilege of doing meaningful work for more than 40 years.

We wish you a bright and hopeful new year.

This past weekend marked 21 years since APCO took a bold step toward independence—choosing to remain privately held at a time when many firms were joining larger holding companies. That decision shaped who we are today: one of the largest majority women-owned, independent firms in our industry.

Independence has given us the freedom to chart our own course, stay true to our values and build a culture that reflects the strength and diversity of our global team.

To mark this milestone, we launched the APCO Mural Project—a collaborative effort that brought together creative contributions from colleagues around the world. The final mural, which you can see below, is a celebration of our people, our culture and the spirit of independence that continues to guide us.

Here’s to 21 years of independence!

Tomorrow is International Women’s Day.

This year's theme, “For ALL women and girls: Rights. Equality. Empowerment," serves as a powerful call to recognize the strategies and resources that foster women's advancement and actively support their implementation. While significant barriers to gender equality still exist, we believe that with the right action and collective support, we can achieve meaningful progress for women around the globe.

In celebration of this important day, we are excited to highlight the incredible women of APCO from across the globe as they share insights and advice to empower women.
