The purpose of the GTWN is to provide a forum for executive women active in telecommunications to get together and “network”; to provide a role model to younger women managers active in telecommunications; and to evolve the global information society in a positive way.
The GTWN salutes all of the women in space who have been contributing to Space for Life from Maria Mitchell to the young girls building their own satellites and launchers today.

GTWN hosts a virtual webinar on 04 March 2021 to launch the new edition of the flagship publication The Mobile Century.
The 2020 Reception was to take place on 24 February 2020 at the Fondacion Rocamora but had to be cancelled due to the pandemic. Given the uncertainties still surrounding international travel for many of the GTWN members from around the globe, we are instead organizing a very special virtual event, which will showcase the advances in digital technologies we have all come to rely on during the pandemic. Special thanks to our sponsor CMS for jointly hosting this event.
