The initiative to create a network of women in e-commerce arose in response to the underrepresentation of women at the eCom Talent Award and in the profession.

Proactive members of Danish Industry took the initiative to gather a group of women to explore what drives those already in e-commerce and how we have reached our current positions. What barriers have we encountered along the way? It also provides space to laugh a bit at the challenges we've faced. We come together to support each other and to inspire other women to get started in a field we are passionate about. For us, it's also about bringing more women into the spotlight and creating connections among ourselves through a network that we, as women, may not always prioritize creating.

In the long run, the dream is to expand the network to include those who also need to be part of the solution – our male colleagues. For now, the network represents a group of leaders, managers, and specialists within e-commerce, including areas such as logistics, sales, marketing, law, IT, customer service, etc., and there is room for more.  

In the network Women In eCommerce - Denmark, we meet to share our passion for e-commerce and to attract more women to the field. For us, it's also about bringing more women into the spotlight and creating connections through a network that we, as women, may not always prioritize creating. For now, the network represents a group of leaders, managers, and specialists within e-commerce, including areas such as logistics, sales, marketing, law, IT, and customer service, and there is room for more. 

When you visit the group for the first time, you will have the opportunity to upload a photo and provide more information about yourself.

Through this network, you will be invited to events and gain visibility among other members. It's an opportunity for you to connect, seek advice, and share your expertise. We will get out of it what we put into it. We recommend that you show up and reach out.  

In the group, you can:

🟣 View information about other participants.

🟣 Send messages and view previous messages and documents.

🟣 See scheduled meeting and participants lists.

In 2024, the network is free. There is no sign-up fee or subscription.

We expect a subscription to be introduced over time, which will cover customer service handling, administrative expenses, etc.

The network is member-led, so participants are expected to take an active part in organizing events and activities and delivering value to the group and the overarching purpose.

The network is sponsored by the Confederation of Danish Industry (Dansk Industri), providing support such as tech infrastructure, admin hours, etc.

In the case of prolonged inactivity, membership in the formalized network will cease. However, you will still have full rights and access to follow the larger and fully open group on (2) Women in e-commerce - Denmark | Grupper | LinkedIn

To be an active member, you must 1. update your profile on the di.dk network page for Women in eCommerce with a photo, contact information, etc. 2. Participate in at least one annual Meet Up.

Everyone can join our community on LinkedIn: (2) Women in e-commerce - Denmark | Grupper | LinkedIn

To join the network, certain conditions must be met in order to be admitted. 

Primarily physical meetings, geographically spread across Denmark.

There will be at least two major events, organized by the network, where members are invited to gatherings hosted by different companies offering to be the venue.

In addition, there will be several other events where the network coordinates participation together. Members use and reach out to each other for sparring and 1:1 meetings, and smaller meeting invitations are also shared.

We love students and want many more of them. Students are welcome in the larger community by following our WIE-D group, and you are also welcome in our group for e-commerce students.

However, in the core network group, there must be enough weight and experience to engage with peers on an equal footing and to contribute to professional discussions and sparring sessions.

The network represents a group of leaders, managers, and specialists within e-commerce, including areas such as logistics, sales, marketing, law, IT, and customer service, and there is room for more. You don´t have to speak Danish – we communicate in English as we are a global network.

We meet physically at different locations in Denmark, so this is important that you can meet physically with us also. There is no member fee, but you need to be actively engaged as we are all a part of creating this network, so we will all bring value into it – take initiative, host a meeting, offer our help, share good pieces of advice and show up as much as we can.
