International Women's Day Conference

This event is organised by Forward Ladies.

International Women's Day has been celebrated since the early 1900's, in many countries this is a national holiday and sees the sons and husbands doing chores in the house, not so in the UK! So we are celebrating the day our own way; by getting together sharing stories, and supporting each other.

This year we have a very exciting line up of speakers who will be sharing their stories and advice. A 2-course lunch will be served after the speakers as well as a chance to network with speakers and delegates.

Speakers

Ruby Wax

Ruby is a legend of UK comedy, she started with French and Saunders and reached national fame with her unique interview style. She confronted Imelda Marcos, confounded Donald Trump and got close with Pamela Anderson. Recently Comedy has taken a back seat and she has completed an MSc on Psychotherapy and Neuroscience. She is now putting these two very unique skills together to run workshops for business leaders on communication. Her workshops combine her unique humour with scientific and theoretical learning and involving practical exercises.

We are delighted Ruby will be joining us for the day, to see her in action watch this You Tube video.
