FT Women in Business Summit - 17th June 2025: In-Person and Digital
Progress towards gender equality has stalled. Women remain underrepresented at every level in the corporate pipeline, yet a growing number of businesses are scaling back, watering down or abandoning their diversity, equality and inclusion policies. No country has, so far, achieved the promise of gender equality envisioned by the UN’s 2030 sustainable development goals. How (and why) should CEOs bring about positive change? What are the biggest systemic and societal barriers to parity? Why are young men and women drifting further apart in their political views and what are the ramifications of this growing global gender divide?
Join FT Live on 17th June for the Women in Business Summit, the FT’s global flagship event on gender equality and inclusive leadership. Gathering senior executives across all sectors for thought-provoking keynotes, lively debates and powerful talks, the summit will explore how to rebuild momentum around diversity, strategies to boost representation in the highest seats of power, and the future of women at work.
Hear from speakers such as Katie Piper, TV presenter, Author & Founder of The Katie Piper; Malala Yousafzai, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, Education Activist & President of Extracurricular, Nicola Kilner, Co-Founder of DECIEM amongst many more.
Explore effective policies and strategies to close the gender gap, connect with global leaders and expand your network, and discuss the world’s most pressing challenges and brainstorm solutions.
CWN Members have been given an exclusive offer of 20% off the ticket price, whether online or digital. Please email Robyn to receive the code.
