A vanguard is officially defined as “a group of people leading the way in new developments and ideas.” One can suggest, especially in this day and age, that a vanguard challenges the norm and relentlessly works for social change. A rebel with a good cause. And if that resonates with you, then join us at the Women@Work Accelerate, Create, Transform (ACT) in a Digital World summit on August 30, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Dusit Thani Manila.

Organized by the Women’s Business Council Philippines (WomenBizPH), the Women’s Business and Leadership Summit 2019 highlights various experts who create, capture, and deliver value through digital transformation.  Women who have broken new grounds, defied cultural barriers, and conquered summits never before reached. Much like a contemporary vanguard, overcoming every challenge that comes their way day by day.
