TWO DAYS, COUNTLESS CONNECTIONS

FW invites you to imagine a better future for working women. 

One where parental leave is flexible and shared equally. One where taking a break from paid employment is respected. One where care work is properly rewarded. One where everyone feels included and is recognised for their contribution. A future where rest is an indisputable part of a balanced working life.

At the FW Leadership Summit, you’ll be inspired by incredible speakers, news breakers and change makers as we work together to make this a reality. 

You’ll meet people from across sectors and industries, sharing ideas and experiences to elevate your career. 

Build confidence as well as resilience, grow your sphere of influence and imagine new possibilities for your leadership journey.
