Silverbird Group joined voices with the global community to celebrate International Women’s Day (IWD) 2026, hosting an engaging event at the Silverbird Galleria in Victoria Island, Lagos, that spotlighted the power of empowerment, collaboration and purposeful leadership among women
Held on Friday, March 6, 2026, the celebration brought together staff, invited guests and professionals from different sectors for an enriching conversation built around the theme “Give to Gain.” The programme featured a keynote address and a panel discussion delivered by accomplished women drawn from media, business, leadership and personal development.
International Women’s Day, observed worldwide on March 8, honours the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women while also serving as a rallying point for advancing gender equality and opportunities for women across the globe.
At Silverbird, the event created a platform for inspiring conversations as the keynote speaker and panelists shared personal experiences and practical insights on leadership, resilience and professional growth. They stressed the importance of mentorship, community support and the willingness to create opportunities for others — values that strongly reflect the spirit of the “Give to Gain” theme.
Participants were also encouraged to build stronger professional networks, invest in personal development and use their influence to uplift other women within their workplaces and communities. The discussions highlighted how media and storytelling can play a powerful role in amplifying women’s voices and celebrating their achievements.
The hybrid event welcomed both physical and virtual participants, allowing a wider audience to engage in the discussions and reinforcing Silverbird’s commitment to inclusivity and knowledge sharing.
Beyond the conversations, the celebration served as a moment to appreciate the impact of women within the organisation and in society at large. Many attendees described the session as both inspiring and empowering, particularly at a time when women across industries continue to break barriers and redefine leadership.
Through the event, Silverbird reaffirmed a simple but meaningful message of International Women’s Day — that when people invest in supporting and uplifting women, the benefits ripple across communities, industries and generations
