October 14, 2026. IESE Barcelona.

IESE Business School, in collaboration with the Women’s Search Network, and the support of Innesto Partners and Novidam, will be hosting the third edition of the Women in Search Forum taking place on October 14th at IESE’s Barcelona North Campus. The Forum aims to showcase women’s experiences in search while fostering dialogue and learning for everyone interested in the search journey. The agenda features leading women CEOs and investors, peer discussions, and networking sessions designed to strengthen collaboration and community in the search funds space.

Testimonials.

"As an aspiring searcher, meeting women in different phases of their journey has made this path less intimidating. The Women in Search Forum allowed me to see what it means to be a searcher by exploring the ecosystem through the different lenses."

"The event stood out for the closeness and humanity of its speakers. The depth of the conversations, together with the real experiences and testimonies shared by CEOs, investors, and searchers, made it an inspiring and truly enriching learning experience"

"What I loved most about the event was the authenticity of both the panelists and the attendees. Questions were asked with a genuine desire to learn—not to impress—and the answers were offered with real candor. The group size was just right, allowing for easy mingling without ever feeling crowded."
