About this event

THE GIRL CODE CHARITY GALA
An evening for women’s health
Wednesday 4 November 2026 · 18:30 to 22:00 · Geneva
Ever googled a symptom alone at 2am?
Waited too long to book a check-up?
Kept quiet about something because it felt too personal, too awkward, too “female”?
You’re not the only one.
Women’s health is still under-researched, under-discussed and too often taboo. Too many of us understand our own bodies late, alone, or not at all.
We think it’s time that changed, and it starts with us.
When women come together, things move. Conversations open up, taboos break, and money gets raised. And someone in the room finally books that appointment.
So under the umbrella of Pink October, we’re bringing together doctors, experts, founders, media and our community to put women’s health where it belongs: in the spotlight.
Breast cancer, and everything else we rarely talk about. Because women’s health doesn’t end when October does.

A NEW CHAPTER
The Girl Code has always been about more than events. This gala marks our next chapter: fewer events for the sake of events, and more evenings with real meaning and real impact.
Let’s come together, say it out loud, and make it matter.

THE EVENING
Candlelight, music, a glass in hand, and a room full of women who build, heal, create and lead.
Meet the founder you’ve admired from afar, the doctor with the answers you’ve been looking for, and maybe your next business partner or closest friend.
Between courses, our speakers say what so often goes unsaid. Then the lights soften, the DJ takes over, and the night becomes a celebration.
This is your reason to dress up. Come as the most powerful version of yourself, because that’s exactly who you will be in the room.

WHAT AWAITS YOU
Welcome apéro and surprise activations
Expert speakers on women’s health (revealed on our socials)
A seated gala dinner designed with hormonal health in mind
Curated drinks, with and without alcohol
Live music, followed by a DJ
Brands, founders, media and key opin

Spoon Food Hall, Geneva, Switzerland
In person

The Marketing Meetup is a global community for marketers, and the marketing-curious. This is your space to keep up to date and meet like minds, in an environment that prioritises kindness and learning you can actually put into action. We're heading to the lovely Spoon Food Hall for this event, where the vibes are chill and friendly, and you’ll be welcomed in with big smiles and cheerful chat 🙂 Come say hello, grab a snack, listen to a speaker to get the ideas flowing, and savour the time to have real conversations with real humans. No selling or networking bingo, just good people being good people. This is the kind of night where you walk home at the end thinking, "I’m not the only one, after all." Let’s have a fab night with some fab people. You’re invited, of course. Speaker: Francesco Urso, Founder at Wolf Project Topic: Building Ventures in the Wild After a long career in P&G, Francesco Urso founded Wolf Project, a men’s skincare brand, and took it from idea to the Amazon top 10 and the shelves of Nordstrom, Target and CVS before selling it. Along the way he learned that direct-to-consumer was never a business model, and that creating a long lasting brand is incredibly hard. In this candid talk he shares the lessons he learned along the way: why acquisition cost is not a moat, why your best consumer research is already in your reviews, and why focus beats budget. You can expect the following 3 takeaways: Ultra Focused: Being excellent at one thing opens the next door. That’s how a small brand became one of 2 out of 100 submissions to land in Nordstrom. The Power of Persistence: how dreaming high and being relentless helps when creating things from scratch What Would I Do Differently? It’s always easier after the facts, but so many things are better now with experience. Your speaker! Francesco Urso builds and scales businesses. He spent 12 years at Procter & Gamble leading brands across Europe, Russia and China, then founded Wolf Project, a men’s skincare brand

AI Risks in Cybersecurity

Novotel Genève Centre, Geneva, Switzerland
In person

Are We Preparing a Future for Everyone through AI? Who really benefits from innovation? AI is increasingly entering into society, simplifying tasks and boosting efficiency. Excessive dependence may degrade the human abilities we’ve developed during over thousands of years: assistance is valuable, but surrendering core abilities weakens individual competence and long-term resilience. Let’s deep-dive and argue for balanced adoption: leverage AI to augment, and not replace, human judgment, preserving skills, creativity and competitiveness for a sustainable future. Trust in AI: Evidence or Hope? How much do you trust the AI used in your organisation? Could you prove that trust is justified? Geopolitics, technical complexity and commercial incentives often turn AI trustworthiness into an assertion rather than an evidence-based claim. AI audits can show where confidence is justified and where it rests on hope. We will explore what can be audited, the practical challenges, and how leaders benefit. Bring your cases and join a candid discussion. AGENDA: 16:30-17:00 Welcoming and registration 17:00-18:00 Presentations 18:00-19:30 Networking Reception SPEAKERS: Mauro Verderosa is a Cybersecurity and IAM Expert with +20 years of experience in the field. Specialized in Identity and Access Management since 2007, joining some of the most important projects in Europe covering the design and the implementation of complex solutions and architectures. He use to work in strongly regulated environments as financial and health care sectors. Holder of some of the most important cybersecurity certifications including CISSP, CCSP, HCISPP, CSSLP and the only ISC2 Official Trainer in Switzerland. He is also the President of the ISC2 Suisse Romande Chapter and the founder of Swiss-CyberSecurity.ch.
