In the summer of 1995, Tian Wei volunteered at the UN Fourth World Conference on Women. As a fresh face in Beijing, she discovered her first spark — a seed of equality, respect and strength that would shape her future.
Fast forward 30 years, and Tian Wei returns to Beijing, capital of the Chinese mainland, not as a volunteer but as the charismatic host of the Global Women’s Summit. Her journey from the sidelines to the spotlight mirrors the rise of voices that once went unheard.
Her story isn’t just personal. It echoes the progress of Chinese women over three decades: stepping into leadership roles, driving social change, and carving out platforms to share their experiences. Above all, it shows how a single spark can grow into a guiding light.
At the Summit, Tian Wei weaves together stories from innovators, activists and changemakers across industries — from tech entrepreneurs building sustainable startups to young athletes breaking records on the world stage. Her interviews bring data-driven insights and human moments into sharp focus.
For young global citizens, her path is an invitation to find that spark within. For business and tech enthusiasts, it’s proof that passion and purpose can build new markets. For thought leaders and changemakers, it’s a reminder that voices once on the fringe can shape global policy. And for travelers and digital nomads, it’s an inspiration to explore, connect and amplify local stories wherever they roam.
Tian Wei’s three-decade journey from volunteer to host shines a light on the power of 'her voice' — a beacon for the next generation of storytellers and leaders.
