Hear from our attendees
I felt extremely inspired after this event. This was by far the best event I have ever attended. The structure of the event, to the clever agenda that flowed so well, even down to the small details of having a working book with space to write against each speaker - this was a dream for me!
Spending a day with powerful and likeminded women I now feel empowered to speak up and make small radical changes at work. Thank you.
This is my second year attending and the quality and content from the amazing presenters far exceeds any other conferences I have attended. The balance of presenters and the care and consideration of the content is evident in the quality event!
Thought provoking topics, spending a day with powerful and likeminded women. I now feel empowered to speak up and make small radical changes at work. Thank you
The story telling and the lived experiences are invaluable. It was amazing how these presenters didn't use any PowerPoint but still managed to keep us engaged just by listening to them.
I loved every speaker from the first to the last and received a gem of wisdom or two from each one.
