SHEWORKS50+ FESTIVAL
YOUR SECOND HALF. YOUR WAY.
Work. Money. Energy. Purpose.
A day to explore what's next - and make it happen.
Spring 2027 · Zürich
THE FESTIVAL PROMISE
COME WITH QUESTIONS.
LEAVE WITH OPTIONS.
A day that combines talks, workshops, expert conversations, practical sessions and honest exchanges about what matters now.
A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO LATE CAREER PLANNING
FOUR AREAS TO EXPLORE.
Conversations, workshops and panels across Work, Money, Energy and Purpose — because the questions we face rarely fit into just one category.
Work
Career · Reinvention · Entrepreneurship
Explore the realities of working, changing direction or starting something of your own in midlife and beyond.
We’ll look at the realities of working in your second half, from navigating the job market to exploring self-employment and different ways of working. What options exist, what makes them viable and how to make the most of your experience - practical and unfiltered.
Money
Financial Planning · Pension · Investing for longer lives
Understand your financial position and the choices available for the years ahead.
A longer life brings new financial questions as our systems have not been built for 100-year-lives. Plan ahead, understand what is still possible - and make informed decisions for your next career steps.
ENERGY
Menopause · Health · Mental Wellbeing
Understand midlife changes and how to work with these changes, not against them.
Your body changes. Your energy levels often do, too. This doesn't mean a step backward - but rather a renegotiation. Sleep, focus, stress resilience, menopause: what changes in midlife and beyond, what it all means, and how to stay at your best for what lies ahead.
PURPOSE
Identity · Meaning · Impact
Consider what matters now and where you want to direct your time and energy.
What brings me joy? What matters to me? What is good for me? From midlife onwards, the big questions arise anew. Research is clear: people with a clear sense of purpose live longer, healthier, and happier lives. Purpose is about deciding what deserves your time and energy now.
THE SECOND HALF. NEW QUESTIONS.
Questions we'll explore together
- How do I position myself in the job market at 50+?
- My body is changing. How to balance work, health and wellbeing?
- How do I optimise my finances for a longer life?
- What deserves my time and energy now?
The Festival brings those questions into one room — with experts, practical knowledge and women figuring them out, too.

COMMUNITY
YOU’RE NOT FIGURING THIS OUT ALONE.
There is value not only in meeting experts but in meeting women with different backgrounds, experiences and possible ways forward. No one has this fully figured out. Let's join forces.
