Tickets can be booked for the day and evening event combined, or separately.
First announced: Jim O'Toole, CEO of Bord Bia plus, we're currently lining up some amazing female industry leaders to speak - watch this space!
We'll be joined by a fantastic coach, who will provide you with practical, achieveable habits to help support your goals and ambitions, and true to what we love at Meat Business Women events, we'll be helping you to make some incredible new connections (with no awkward icebreakers!)
Having recently launched The Food Business Charter, we have set out our ambition to work towards 40% female representation across the food industry by 2035. Now we're asking you: What does your Ambition Looks Like? Because achieving the Charter’s ambition won’t happen by chance. It will require a shift in culture, where everyone’s ambitions are recognised, supported, and celebrated
We know ambition looks different for everyone, so we want you you to redefine what ambition means for you and make your goals visible.
Whether you come with colleagues or attend solo, you’ll leave with renewed energy, valuable industry insights, fresh inspiration, and the tools to help you unlock your earning potential and love what you do.
We'd like to extend our heartfelt thanks to both Bord Bia and Alltech for the generous use of their venues.
