Some 200 women identified as "high potentials" came together on Tuesday July 8^th, 2008 at the much-acclaimed musée du quai Branly for the first ever "Talents Day" organized by the Women’s Forum. This gathering dedicated to talent and diversity allowed its participants to enjoy great encounters – four women executives with exceptional careers, including Anne Lauvergeon, CEOs debating on diversity – and sessions and workshops for sharing concrete experiences. The Women’s Forum also welcomed more than 150 young graduates from the "Grandes Ecoles au Féminin" group who gathered in the Diversity Hall to exchange ideas, experiences and best practices and to strengthen the "feminine network" that was a central theme throughout the day.
