3RD WOMEN'S LEADERSHIP AND EMPOWERMENT CONFERENCE [WLEC2008​]

27th - 29th of May 2008, Busan, Republic of Korea

Venue: Haundae Hanwha Resort
The 3rd Women’s Leadership and Empowerment Conference (WLEC2008), held from 27th to 29th May 2008 at the Haeundae Hanwha Resort in Busan, South Korea, marked an important early expansion of the WLEC series beyond Thailand. Building on the foundations of the 2006 and 2007 editions, WLEC2008 strengthened the global dimension of the conference and attracted women leaders, researchers, educators, advocates and practitioners from around the world.
​
As a pre-digital edition, WLEC2008 played a key role in shaping the inclusive, collaborative and cross-cultural character of the series. Participants engaged in discussions on leadership, empowerment, education, community development and gender equality — themes that remain central to the WLEC identity today. The conference continued to emphasize meaningful interactions, supportive dialogue and opportunities for building networks across sectors and regions.
