The theme for International Women’s Day is #EmbraceEquity. To celebrate that, we’ve brought together women from across a range of fields in the industry at different stages of their career to talk about the power of embracing differences.
They’ll be sharing their career journey, sharing with you their best advice and we’ll be discussing each panellist’s differences to discover how they’ve helped them succeed
Our UK & Ireland panel will be hosted by the fantastic Carol Glover:
