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.
