We're not here to replace anyone.

There are already great women's communities across finance and insurance. WIFI exists to platform them and connect them, so more women find their people and more good things happen in the same rooms.

If you run a community, we'd love to hear from you. No applications. No gatekeeping.

Could this be you?

WIFI is being built by people who want to make our industry more connected.

Whether you'd like to join a local committee, host a WIFI event, share your expertise, collaborate with us or simply have an idea you think we should hear, we'd love to hear from you.

There's more than one way to be part of WIFI.
