Join PWF on XING

The Professional Women's Forum has launched a group on the social networking platform XING. You can sign up for the group here and invite your contacts to join.

Steffi Behrendt is group moderator and will ensure group members are informed about forthcoming events.

What we want

• We want to promote networking between professional women.
• We know that personal contacts can create professional opportunities and help open doors. Ever heard of the “old boys’ network”?
• We know that this is doubly important for non-German women who want to make their way in business here.
• We want to create an informal and communicative atmosphere for exchanging ideas - to have fun!
• We want to learn - and keep on learning.

Who we are

We are an international network of professional women who meet regularly to learn from and support each other in a relaxed atmosphere, in both English and German.

Set up in 1994 by Pat Pledger (photo), a British businesswoman, PWF brings together career-minded women in Hamburg, providing a forum for contact-building and exchanging ideas. Our members represent a wide range of occupations and nationalities.

Monthly meetings offer presentations on personal/career development or business topics, company visits or simply networking in an informal atmosphere. The forum also provides a platform for members to present their company or services. more
