What were your key take aways from this event? (select quotes)

The 5 Excellencies were indeed excellent: Wonder Women! The dynamic and frank way they spoke gave one a bit of hope for the future..

Be yourself; Have thick skin; Marry a kiwi who can cook dinner for you; Study law or international relations; Have a plan.

That the Irish Ambassador is the coolest woman on the planet!

Loved the quote: have a seat at the table, or you will be on the menu

Inside peek into the world of diplomacy, loved the candour and humour of the speakers

How would you describe the atmosphere at this event? (select quotes)

Lively and a reminder that women can do anything if supported well :)

Great, warm and friendly

Very welcoming and friendly

Attentive, relaxed and open.

It was animated and buzzing. A real contrast to the one that immediately preceded it.

Worldly and warmly.
