THE Institute of Directors has rolled out the red carpet to invite business leaders to its 2020 Women’s Leadership Conference.
It brings together a community of inspiring and innovative leaders at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Belfast on March 6, sponsored by Herbert Smith Freehills,
An impressive line-up of speakers includes award-winning astrophysicist Dame Jocelyn Bell Burnell, journalist and disability rights activist Joanne O’Riordan, and Breege O’Donoghue, matriarch of Penneys and Primark.
More than 450 delegates are expected to attend the conference, which is open to both women and men as well as IoD non-members.
IoD NI national director Kirsty McManus said: “Since it was established in 2008, the Women’s Leadership Conference has become one of the most significant annual events on the business calendar.
“For 2020, we’ve taken the theme ‘Leading the Way’ - and that’s exactly what our speakers are doing.
“We look forward to hearing their stories of success and are sure the keynote sessions will be engaging and thought provoking in equal measure.”
The conference programme also features panel sessions with speakers including Dame Rotha Johnston, chair of NI Screen, and Sinead Rocks, regions & nations managing director at Channel 4.
The 4k Pitch competition, which provides entrepreneurs with a chance to win funding for their start-up business, also returns.
