Are you looking to network with like-minded women? Would you like to share your experience, learn from others and grow your professional network?
At this event we are looking forward to exploring the topic “Finding your purpose”, and sparking valuable conversations about being confident about our strengths, identifying what we really care about and being inspired by the people we admire.
The new GWLP Meet & Mix event creates a friendly and welcoming space, which opens with an inspirational speech from a senior woman leader. This year we are delighted to welcome Bina Mehta, Chair of KPMG UK and Bayes alumna, as the first leader to address the Meet & Mix.
We will also hear from the impressive women who have been awarded a scholarship by the Global Women’s Leadership Programme – a diverse and engaging group from a range of industries including media, medical affairs and supply chain management.
Following the speeches, we will host structured conversations – enabling you to effectively network in a supportive environment and build meaningful connections.
