Then it was time for lunch and networking, where everyone gathered in the beautiful grounds and the sun shone just for us!
Speed Mentoring Sessions from Squarespace took place on the lawn and over 40 women had the chance for a 1:1 with a noteworthy woman in business, gleaning some key insights from our mentors. 16 Roundtables happened across the whole of the hotel, with debate topics ranging from the cost of living crisis to social media's contribution to eating disorders and SO MUCH more.
In the afternoon we had our Economics Panel on how the world may look different if women held equal participation in future economies. Hosted by Bola Sol with Panelists Christiana Stewart-Lockhart Maya Ghosn Bichara Rachel Harrington and Rosa Wilson-Garwood. Our Technology Panel in Partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS) discussed how we can drive more women to build the products and services they want to see in the world, Anushka Sharma was joined by Aditi Singh, Alice Finch, Rubporn ("Ponk") Memoli and Diana S. Our final Panel talk on Laws Against Women was a powerful discussion on the work being done to support change and was hosted by Sharmadean Reid MBE with Panelists Dania Al-Obeid, Pippa Woodrow, Laura Bates and Ebinehita Iyere.
We then rounded off the INCREDIBLE day with Dinner, kindly provided by Veuve Clicquot followed by a Cocktail Party in partnership with Eminente where guests were treated to delicious daiquiris.
