ANDE East and Southeast Asia started our #GenderGems campaign to showcase key actors working to support women's entrepreneurship last year and again this year to explore how these amazing organizations across Southeast Asia embrace and incorporate a gender lens into their work.

We held our 2022 ANDE Annual Conference in person in Leesburg, Virginia, USA after two years of virtual convenings. Thanks to our wonderful ANDE members, this year's conference agenda was purposefully created around the conference theme, Resilient Entrepreneurship. We enjoyed 13 workshops, 10 breakout sessions, 8 micro-talks, 2 entrepreneur journeys sessions, a featured speaker, a fireside chat, 2 speed networking sessions, and a gala dinner.
