our theme IN 2024:
menopause at the workplace
For many years women’s health has been a taboo topic particularly within the workplace. In recent years there has been a positive shift in workplace research, attitudes and women’s health adjustments.
The last taboo of women’s health in the workplace is menopause which intersects with a crucial career stage as it naturally occurs between the ages of 45 and 55. The average age of menopause is 51, with some women experiencing perimenopause symptoms up to 10 years prior to their Final Menstrual Cycle. That could mean that millions of women either perimenopausal or postmenopausal will be climbing the career ladder into leadership positions whilst experiencing hot flashes, cognitive impairment, poor sleep, fatigue and anxiety.
Is menopause a women’s issue or a workplace issue?
Should women be given special working adjustments for a natural life event or should they tackle it in private?
Come and be part of this groundbreaking event where you can gain insights from experts, changemakers, and industry professionals on the effects of menopause in the workplace. Engage in stimulating discussions about policies and strategies, and work together on meaningful initiatives to foster organisational cultures that embrace and support women during the menopausal transition.
What The Fog, Asia Pacific, 2024, promises to be an unparalleled platform for thought-provoking discussions, groundbreaking research and a showcase of best practices in menopause across the region.
We are bringing together key stakeholders: Organisation leaders, policymakers, insurance providers, wellbeing solutions, clinicians, startup founders, scientists and media to have a conversation about menopause.
And we can’t do this without our sponsors. Our sponsors and partners are part of a growing movement in women’s health and continue to cultivate enduring partnerships that drive their organisation’s success.

We would like to invite attendees who believe in an organisational culture that is inclusive and supportive of menopause and who are eager to learn what that looks like and how to get started.
