FWA is pleased to partner with Blockchain Association Singapore (BAS) Women in Blockchain Committee to present a session on blockchain concepts and its verticals. 

The intention of blockchain was meant to be a technology where data is immutable, confidential and located on de-centralized network. Its initial application was widely known to be in cryptocurrency applications. With its exponential growth, more and more vertical industries that have also started implementing blockchain. Join us for the lunchtime panel discussion to have a deeper understanding the blockchain ecosystem and its emerging verticals, particularly: 

1. Breaking down the different parts of the blockchain verticals, particularly digital assets, Defi, NFT, the meta verse and Web 3.0. 

1. Understanding the risks and what to look out for when dealing with digital assets/NFTs/Defi products – from beginners to more advanced audiences and the tools that can enable you to get started.  
2. Debunking myths about blockchain. 
3. How to navigate a career switch or build a successful career in this space. 

We are excited and privileged to have an esteemed panel to share their expert and pragmatic views on this highly relevant and important topic.

The FWA Women Empowered Impact (WEimpact) pillar, in collaboration with IFC Asia Pacific Women’s Network, is pleased to host an interactive lunchtime session spotlighting the importance of self-care and simple steps to taking care of our well-being.

Bombarded by round-the-clock demands from our personal and professional lives, mindfulness or happiness seems out of reach. A study conducted by the Institute of Mental Health in 2020 observed that 8.7% of the surveyed population in Singapore met the criteria for clinical depression while 9.4% met the criteria for anxiety. It is, therefore, imperative that one learns to pause, take stock, and prioritise our well-being to achieve a more satisfying life!

In this session, join us to learn from our speaker, Shireena Shroff Manchharam, a certified life coach and weekly wellness columnist of Tatler Singapore, who will share simple and practical tips that we can adopt in our daily routines to kickstart our quest toward a positive and happier state.
