Inspiring Women Edinburgh: amazing speakers, inspirational advice, great contacts… a fantastic day

Made a promise to do more for your career in 2016? There’s help at hand. Forget that gym membership; this is one resolution you’ll definitely want to keep.

Management Today’s Inspiring Women conference is coming to Edinburgh on March 17, 2016.

Talk, listen, discuss, learn and develop as 25 inspirational speakers reveal the secrets to their success – and how you can use their achievements to build on your own. You’ll be mentored, learn and develop leadership skills, overcome present and future challenges and more.

This year’s speakers come from all backgrounds, but focus on the tech, digital, finance and hospitality sectors. You can expect to be enlightened and enthralled by some truly amazing people – including Carla Buzasi (global chief content officer, WGSN), former F1 test-driver Susie Wolff, Vicky Price (chief economic adviser at CEBR), Gourmet Gadgetry co-founder Lisa Scott and more. (See the latest list at www.managementtoday.co.uk/go/iwibedinburgh.)

Subjects include a panel discussion on the future face of leadership, corporate reputation and trust; breaking the mould in motorsport; and women in STEM jobs.

You’re part of the next generation of businesswomen – and there’s never been a better time to share experiences, learn from each other, make new contacts and plan your next career move.
