Markets Media’s 10th Annual U.S Women in Finance Awards program will be held in New York in November 2024.

Markets Media is a strong advocate for women in finance as well as diversity and inclusion, and its signature WIF event embodies that support. There’s also the Women in Finance Asia Awards and the European Women in Finance Awards.

WIF awards cover institutional investment firms, sell-side broker-dealers, wealth managers, exchange operators, technology providers, venture capital firms, start-ups — any area within the financial sector that touches capital markets.

“Stay tuned for more updates and new members, and as always thank you all for your participation, support and guidance,” Markets Media CEO Mohan Virdee said last week in a note to advisory board members.
