The Spanish Chamber of Commerce in the UK is delighted to invite you to join us for the first edition of Women who Inspire, a new event series which aims to cast the spotlight on professionals from different sectors, to delve into their career backgrounds and the difficulties and opportunities that they have encountered along the way; from a gender perspective.
The Spanish Chamber has a strong commitment to Equity, Diversity and Inclusion, which is reflected in our strategy and in our way of working in part through initiatives such as this, promoting the collaboration with a wide variety of companies and their workforces from diverse sectors and cultures.
Women to Inspire will aim to inspire us all. It will intend to discuss some of the experiences and journeys that are likely to be common among us but might not always be visible at a surface level. This first event will focus on the world of journalism, for which we will be joined by a fantastic and prominent group of female journalists.
Following the panel discussion you will have the opportunity to network over drinks and canapes with Members of the Spanish Chamber as well as representatives from different Spanish and British media groups based in the UK.
Time: Wednesday 20th April, 18:15 (for an 18:30 prompt start) – 20:30
