Pakistan Society for Training and Development (PSTD) organised the second 'Women in Business and Leadership Conference (Wibcon)' at a local hotel on Saturday, in collaboration with Engro Corporation Limited as the major sponsor and Terrabiz as the event organiser.
The conference aimed at highlighting the emerging role of women in Pakistani society along with addressing the issues affecting the growth of women in today's corporate world.
