Speakers Breakfast
Looking Ahead to International Women’s Day 2025
The Bishopsgate Institute was the venue for our latest Speakers Breakfast, Looking Ahead to International Women’s Day.
We had the privilege of hearing from four remarkable women, each making a significant impact in media, politics, sport, and groundbreaking research into online extremism. Their stories of breaking barriers in Diversity and Inclusion, treading new ground in male-dominated industries, uncovering the alarming rise of online misogynistic groups, and driving meaningful change were both eye-opening and empowering.
Alongside these insights, they also explored practical ways to support this year’s International Women’s Day theme: #AcceleratingAction.
A huge thank you to our brilliant keynote speakers:
- Penny Mordaunt spent 14 years in Parliament, where she held a number of Cabinet positions.
- Maggie Alphonsi is one of the most recognisable names in international sport.
- Dr Julia Ebner is a leading voice in the area of online extremism.
- Maryam Moshiri is one of the main anchors on BBC News Channel.
