Think Global Women
Celebration of International Women’s Day 2024
‘Inspire Inclusion’
How can we create a more inclusive workplace?
Institute of Directors – IoD
116 Pall Mall, London
Friday, 8 March 2023
10.00am – 2.30 pm
Following our highly successful and impactful International Women’s Day (IWD) event last year, we highlight this year’s theme of ‘Inspire Inclusion’ to champion inclusion in all its forms. Explore the value of international experience and how to share knowledge and expertise to deliver greater equity for women and girls and help to grow sustainable jobs and opportunities around the world.
Our event this year on 8 March will not only support your own personal and professional development but will provide practical tools to accelerate change in your own organization or community.
Inspired by the publication of ‘Men Stepping Forward’, we encourage men to join us to explore how to create an environment at work to achieve gender-inclusive leadership opportunities.
You will take away a wealth of connections, new ideas and practical solutions to put into practice in your own workplace.

With over 25 years' experience as a business leader, podcast host and speaker, Joy helps organisations accelerate their journey towards gender equality by providing them with strategic advisory services and a range of practical solutions that create equitable places to work.
