“As we celebrate the fifth anniversary of the 30/50 Summit, we are proud to continue giving a platform to women who lead, across all industries, generations and parts of the world,” said Maggie McGrath, Editor, ForbesWomen. “The 30/50 Summit has grown to become more than an event, but a movement, for leading women around the world.”

“Throughout my work with Know Your Value, I’ve seen that women are incredibly capable and deeply engaged when it comes to building their futures,” said Mika Brzezinski, co-host of Morning Joe on MS NOW and founder of Know Your Value. “When we launched our first U.S. ‘50 Over 50’ list six years ago, we realized there was already a global groundswell of women waiting to be seen. Bringing together the women of 50 Over 50 and 30 Under 30 at the 30/50 Summit creates a powerful energy focused on solving some of our biggest challenges. These women inspire me every day through how they continue to lead, innovate and shape the world.”
