Women in the Law UK to hold annual conference online

22nd October 2020

Women in the Law UK, the not-for-profit networking organisation, will hold this year's annual conference online.

The event, to be held on Friday 20 November via Zoom, will take the theme, "Empowering you to do what you do best and unlocking your talent."

Women in the Law UK is a professional development organisation that promotes gender diversity, women’s progression and social mobility in the legal sector. Since the lockdown it has operated a programme of webinars and online social events, providing a combination of education and wellbeing support. Several are held every week.

This year’s annual conference is sponsored by financial services provider Wesleyan, and will be hosted by Sally Penni MBE, founder and chair of Women in the Law UK. 

Topics to be covered at the conference include tips on how to be more confident, how to communicate with confidence, how to establish professional networks and create connections, and how to deal with imposter syndrome.

Confirmed speakers include: Ros Bever, head of the divorce and family practice, and Manchester regional managing partner, at law firm Irwin Mitchell; Alex McCann, founder of social media training business Altrincham HQ; Kate Dodd, diversity and inclusion consultant at law firm Pinsent Mason; and Chrissie Wolfe, solicitor and founder of the career development YouTube channel "Law & Broader".

Ms Penni commented: "Our annual conference has become a mainstay of the Women in the Law UK calendar, and we were determined to continue with it despite the current restrictions. I believe we have put together a great programme that will stimulate, challenge and inform delegates.

"Of course, it is a shame we won’t be able to meet socially but, over the past six months, we have become expert at delivering engaging events via Zoom. I can’t wait for the time when I can talk to all our members again face-to-face but, on the other hand, delivering our conference online means it is potentially open to many more delegates who, for reasons of geography, might struggle to attend a traditional city centre event in person."

Tickets for this, and other events, are available via Eventbrite. More information and a link to the ticketing platform are available on the Women in the Law UK website: www.womeninthelawuk.com.
