Are you ready to take charge of your financial future? Do you want to learn from experts and network with peers in a fun, vibrant setting?
Then you won’t want to miss our Money Matters Festival!
Despite the challenges we face in the financial, economic, and political landscape, we firmly believe that creating awareness, fostering education, and providing support are essential for women to achieve financial independence and lead fulfilling lives.
That’s why in 2022, we hosted our first Money Matters Festival.
It was an incredible experience, bringing together women from all walks of life for empowering and inspiring conversations.
This year, we’re taking things to the next level with an even bigger and better event. We are set on amplifying women’s voices and putting the spotlight on financial security and independence like never before.
And guess what?
We’ll be doing it all at the legendary KOKO!
This iconic Victorian venue in the heart of Camden has been a creative institution for over two centuries. With its stunning restoration and majestic stage, KOKO is the perfect place for an unforgettable experience.
We have an exciting line-up of speakers, workshops, and activities designed to help you achieve financial security and independence.
💃Fun Extras: We’ll have live music, a delicious lunch by Ottolenghi, a DJ spinning great tunes, and goodie bags from TOM FORD and L’Occitane to make sure you have a fantastic time!
You’ll learn from experts, hear from inspiring role models, and connect with like-minded women.
We believe that money matters for women, and that we can change the world by changing our relationship with money.
So mark your calendars and get ready to join us.
We can’t wait to see you there!

This webinar is crafted to address the unique hurdles of re-entering the professional realm, offering insightful strategies for boosting self-confidence, overcoming imposter syndrome, and combating ‘career amnesia’. As part of this comprehensive toolkit, we emphasise the importance of understanding and leveraging your personal brand, which serves as a cornerstone for professional reintegration. Knowing your ‘why’—the driving purpose behind your career choices—fuels your motivation and guides your path. We’ll explore how aligning your actions with your core values and playing to your strengths can significantly enhance your impact and satisfaction in the workplace.

How can we bust gender stereotypes in the Financial Services and Technology industries? The Equality Committee and Financial Services Technology Panel would like to invite you
The Equality Committee and Financial Services Technology Panel would like to invite you to our International Women’s Day Event: Busting Gender Stereotypes on Tuesday 5th March, beginning at 5.30pm at the Information Technologists’ Hall. We would like to encourage all members to invite female colleagues to this IWD event with a view to expanding WCIT female membership.
How can we bust gender stereotypes in the Financial Services and Technology industries?
Building on the International Women’s Day theme of “Inspiring Inclusion”, this event will give the floor to a wide range of voices, who have grappled with this challenge in their careers and lives, on how we can make the technology industry truly accessible, from schools and colleges to the workplace and beyond. The event will aim to draw up key recommendations on how we can overcome myths and bust stereotypes in the industries, and how we can ensure that female voices, perspectives, experience, and skills are given full and equal weight across the sectors. We believe that addressing this for women is only part of the effort needed to truly “Inspire Inclusion”.
Did you know:
The statistics above are just a snapshot of the challenge across the wider technology and financial services sectors.
We look forward to welcoming you at this panel event which will provide the opportunity to discuss the issues around gender stereotyping.

Let’s bridge the silos and leverage the power of community to positively change the future of endometriosis and women’s health for good. Following the success of our
Following the success of our inaugural, first-of-its-kind, sold-out annual This Independent Life conference in 2023, we are thrilled to be back exactly one year on to host our next Future of Endometriosis conference in 2024!
Join the TIL community in London for this exciting in-person event bringing together different voices and perspectives from across the endometriosis and women’s health space during what we at TIL HQ are terming ‘Women’s Weekend’ (International Women’s Day on 8th, Conference on 9th, and Mother’s Day on 10th!)
Hear the latest advancements in research, treatment options and support for people affected by endometriosis and women’s health conditions, and learn from leading experts including patient advocates, healthcare professionals, academic researchers, startup founders, and more. Together, we will ignite and elevate interest, investment, and innovation to make positive change a reality in endometriosis and women’s health once and for all.
Why
For too long, endometriosis, and women’s health, has not been taken seriously. Endometriosis affects 1 in 10 women and people who menstruate globally, a similar prevalence to diabetes, yet takes on average 7-10 years to get diagnosed.

We’ve welcomed over 10,000 global women in tech to learn and network as part of One Tech World since 2020. We’re not just another media company; this cause is deeply personal to us. The current representation of women at 21% in the tech sector is insufficient and demands transformation.
To evoke change, we believe in unveiling the true landscape of the future of technology to both existing and aspiring women in the industry. Our goal involves showcasing the tech industry’s future and inspiring women from all backgrounds to consider tech careers.

Through this, they gain a comprehensive understanding of the industry, empowering them to adapt their skill sets and expand their networks for the future.
In April 2024, we plan to deliver our fifth global virtual learning experience on our cutting-edge conferencing platform. Our conference will serve as a hub for discovering emerging technologies and industry disruptions – and the best part is due to our incredible sponsors, this year it will be FREE to attend.
Renowned speakers from around the world and our alumni of award TechWomen100 award winners will generously share their insights, enriching our innovative sessions covering diverse tech realms. Additionally, we will facilitate career development discussions, fireside chats, and extensive networking opportunities through our chat rooms.
Our agenda is meticulously crafted based on the feedback of our community, ensuring we cater to our community’s needs. Our aim is not just to accelerate their careers but to provide a panoramic view of the tech world and its implications for the future of work.

ADHD Life Solutions – The Rollercoaster of being a Woman with ADHD
I am thrilled to invite you to a profound and nurturing webinar tailored just for us – women navigating the intricate dance of life with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
I’ve crafted this webinar to explore the unique interplay between ADHD symptoms, hormonal changes, and the societal roles we juggle every day. My goal is to deepen our understanding and offer practical strategies that empower us to thrive amidst these complexities.
We will explore the following and more.
My ADHD Experience: Let’s dive into how ADHD manifests uniquely in us women, why it’s often overlooked, and the common challenges we face. I’ll share strength-based approaches that celebrate our neurodiversity.
The Hormonal Rollercoaster: Together, we’ll unpack the complex relationship between hormones and ADHD. I’ve invited expert speakers to explain how hormonal fluctuations during menstrual cycles, pregnancy, and menopause can impact our ADHD symptoms and what strategies can help.
Societal Roles and Expectations: We’ll discuss the societal expectations placed on us as women and how these can intensify the challenges of ADHD. From multitasking between career and home responsibilities to confronting mental health stigmas, I’ll provide insights on managing these pressures while staying authentic
This webinar is more than a learning opportunity; it’s a safe haven for us to validate our experiences, embrace self-discovery, and empower each other. Whether you’re newly diagnosed, a long-time member of the ADHD community, or seeking to support a loved one, this webinar is for you.Register now to secure your spot!
About the facilitator
A life coach with a background in positive psychology and personal experience of ADHD.
Being a woman with ADHD, a mother to a neurodiverse child and doing a PhD, I had to create organisational systems just to get by. To my shock, when I showed my systems to others they loved them and asked me to share them. This was the birth of ADHD Life Solutions.
