Join Us For A Momentous Celebration - 20 Years in the Making!

The Business Insurance Women to Watch Awards is turning 20! As the only recognition program that honors exceptional women across all sectors of the commercial insurance industry, Women to Watch continues to shine a spotlight on the trailblazers shaping the future of risk and insurance.

What began in 2006 as a pioneering awards program has evolved into a dynamic platform for leadership, education, and empowerment—elevating women from commercial insurance, risk management, consulting, law, and beyond. In 2017, we expanded our reach globally with the launch of the EMEA Women to Watch Awards, recognizing outstanding professionals across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.

This year’s 20th Anniversary Gala Celebration will be held November 11, 2025, at the iconic Marriott Marquis in New York City. In addition to honoring the Class of 2025, we are proud to introduce and celebrate 10 Iconic Leaders—individuals whose enduring impact and visionary leadership have helped shape the industry over the past two decades.

Don’t miss this unforgettable evening of recognition, inspiration, and industry celebration as we honor the past, elevate the present, and look boldly toward the future.
