On 12th March 2026, the chandeliers of the Galle Face Hotel will glow a little brighter as SHE RADIATES unfolds an International Women’s Day 2026 experience designed not merely as an event, but as an atmosphere.

International Women’s Day 2026 is a global moment to celebrate women’s achievements, strengthen equality, and inspire meaningful progress, under the theme “Give to Gain.” It reminds that when we invest in women through opportunity, visibility, wellbeing, and encouragement everyone benefits. SHE RADIATES reflects this spirit by creating a space where corporate women and emerging leaders come together to connect, grow, and uplift one another through confidence, wellbeing, and authentic self-expression. In a world that often demands constant performance, SHE RADIATES offers something rarer: space for renewal, poise, and personal radiance.

This experience is presented in collaboration with WeOptimize, Ma Foi, and AHRP, three organisations united by a commitment to purposeful leadership and transformation.

WeOptimize, the registered partner in Sri Lanka representing Ma Foi India, operates with a holistic philosophy optimising people, processes, and systems to help organisations remain resilient, competitive, and future-ready.
