The day began with a networking lunch where all winners had the opportunity to meet their peers and share their individual stories. The rest of the afternoon provided a series of keynotes from Warwick’s professors alongside a workshop on team building and trust.
The concept of award winners attending a business school for a day of learning is WeAreTheCity’s way of harnessing the collective wisdom of our award winners and channelling it into a platform for shared knowledge and growth. Throughout the day, our Rising Stars had the opportunity to immerse themselves in a dynamic learning environment and build their networks across a multitude of industries. The connections formed at our knowledge day will no doubt lead to lasting professional relationships. Award winners, attendees, and faculty members will be able to connect and collaborate on future projects, research endeavours, or business ventures. This network of excellence can extend the benefits of the day of learning far beyond the event itself.
For WeAreTheCity, awards are more than just trophies and certificates; they represent the culmination of hard work, dedication, innovation, and exceptional performance. Whether it’s a Nobel Prize in Physics, an Academy Award for Best Actor, or the Forbes 30 Under 30 list, these honours recognise those who have excelled in their respective fields. Award winners often become sources of inspiration for aspiring individuals and serve as role models, demonstrating that with determination and innovation, one can reach the highest pinnacles of success. We are honoured to be able to work alongside Warwick to bring these opportunities to our award winners, and we are honoured to have such incredible women past and present amongst our alumnae.
We would like to thank Rebecca Evans and her team at Warwick for their impeccable hosting, and to Professor Dr Harveen Chugh (Rising Star winner), Professor Dr Dimitrios Spyridonidis, and Rupali Sharma-Patel (Rising Star winner) for their awesome keynotes on entrepreneurship, dealing with change, resilience and leadership. We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to the founders of The Audax Generation, Fidel and Martin who ran such an interactive and impactful workshop for our winners.
With special thanks to the sponsors of this year’s Rising Star awards. Our next Rising Star Awards open for nominations in January 2024.

Kick off your 2025 in style by networking with us. A fabulous mix of formal & informal networking over a facilitated business lunch
WIBN networking is here to create a platform for like-minded women, who passionately drive their business forward and collaborate with others to help them achieve success.
WIBN is a business network organisation for women business owners and employed professionals, who network each month over a facilitated business lunch. Our members support and encourage each other through collaboration and the sharing of business contacts and opportunities. The meetings are structured and effective, whilst also being supportive and friendly!
As Women Business Owners we know that one person can transform your business but think what you could achieve with a tribe of supportive and passionate business owners?? At WIBN we recognise that often women lack relevant networking opportunities simply because they network in a different way to men!
Our monthly meetings are a fabulous mix of formal and informal networking which includes your own 60 secs pitch, a focused spotlight session from a member and lunch.Our philosophy in this group is simple – No sister left behind! Come along to our WIBN group as a visitor and experience the potential to grow your business in a more productive way.
WIBN has a professional exclusivity policy so it’s one profession per group – see below * . As long as your profession is not already represented you would be welcome to visit a group twice before deciding if you want to join.
WIBN is a monthly membership group and a 12 month commitment will be required after you have visited a maximum of two times. Full details and prices will be given at the meeting.
*in the event that your profession is already represented at your chosen meeting then the organiser saves the right to propose another place or date. If we cannot relocate you then a full refund will be given.
