Rigi Gathering

Substance over smalltalk.

Two days of conversations, thought-provoking debates, and fresh perspectives for ambitious women and allies who want to inspire, empower, and create real change together.

Open, honest, and above all, impactful.

Context: You’re used to solving problems, making quick decisions, and taking responsibility. But how often do you have the space to truly think freely, speak openly, and engage in deep discussions with other sharp minds?

What to expect?: We are deliberately creating this space: time to get to know one another, to have candid conversations about our projects, challenges, and goals. Because only when we truly know one another can we offer meaningful support.

A First Step: We met in the mountains in July 25 and at the She Inspires Me Gala dinner in November 25. In 2026, we’ll meet again for multiple retreats in Switzerland, bringing together forward-thinking people from diverse fields and supporting them to take impactful action.

Who we are & why we're doing this

We, Lise, Anna and Angela, are doers. We’ve overcome challenges, tackled obstacles, and know what it takes to drive change. Now, it’s time for the next step: creating impact together with other women and allies.

Our society needs a wake-up call, in politics, business, and culture. Change doesn’t happen on its own. It takes courageous people who connect, support one another, and take action.

That’s exactly what we want: to empower women who don’t just talk, but take action. Together, we are shaping change towards a more inclusive and sustainable world, with clear focus, genuine exchange, and the power of collective action.
