Workshops
Arrive early and attend one of our pre-conference workshops. The chance to learn, interact and be inspired is being extended beyond the originally planned two-day conference, with the introduction of personal development workshops the first day. Adding an extra half-day to the conference gives attendees the chance to spend a substantial block of time on professional development topics. It is designed to be a substantial value-added opportunity for women wishing to enhance their management and interpersonal skills.
