Join us at KPMG offices in Birmingham for our Midlands Regional Conference on 15 October.
MBW’s Regional Conferences are a day of inspiration, connection & collaboration for our community. Hear from keynote sessions, insights from MBW’s new Gender Representation Report, industry insight, and have dedicated time for networking and personal development with a professional coach, designed to help you build confidence, capability and connections. This year’s theme ‘Turning Ambition into Action’ will focus on how we turn good intent into actionable progress for ourselves, no matter what our ambition looks like.
We’re excited to bring together a line-up of senior leaders and industry experts who will share practical industry knowledge, real experiences, practical lessons and the decisions that shaped their careers.
We’ll share the full agenda closer to the event, but you can expect a mix of keynote sessions, industry insight, and dedicated time for networking and personal development with a professional coach, all designed to help you build confidence, capability and connections plus the usual dose of MBW inspiration!
We will be running three other regional Conferences in Bradford, Dublin & Belfast over Sep & Oct, with a very similar agenda. The aim is to deliver our events near to where our community are based, and ensure that we enable as many people to attend as possible. If you are unable to make this date, please consider attending our other conferences taking place in the other three locations.
