The conference will focus on the experiences and insights of inspiring female leaders from a wide variety of sectors and the challenges they have faced whilst showcasing their great accomplishments. A key theme will be the discussion of obstacles those identifying as women face in environments where they are underrepresented, which can make a career progression more challenging, as well as the questions about how to best combine prosperous careers with families and personal lives. As research has widely shown and many companies have increasingly observed over the last years, a diverse team with a plethora of viewpoints and experiences creates a richer debate when tackling problems, which leads to more innovative and creative solutions. The conference seeks to add to the discourse that is taking place around this, inspire the next generation of leaders, offer young women and men a great opportunity to learn from and engage with positive role models and turn them into ambassadors for increased diversity.
We are bringing together the visionary figures who are making things happen at the very forefront of this powerful and emerging wave of change. They are the pioneering people and companies challenging a powerful status quo, taking on and shaking up archaic practices in every industry, creating innovative and disruptive, solutions, products and services and traversing borders.
