WIE – Women, Inspiration and Enterprise. Tickets are now on sale for the UK’s first event.
A host of prominent women from the worlds of business, politics, fashion and entertainment will congregate at the Women Inspiration and Enterprise (WIE) Symposium to lead a series of panels and workshops designed to equip women with the tools and confidence to succeed.
WIE first launched in New York in 2010, and over the years has featured a stellar line-up of speakers including Donna Karen, Nancy Pelosi, Queen Rania of Jordan and Christy Turlington. The UK conference takes place on International Women’s Day, March 8th 2012 and will feature hi- fliers such as Jo Malone, Jo Elvin, Kathy Lette, Lynn de Rothschild, Lynne Franks, Julie Meyer, Stella Creasy, Dr Linda Papadopoulos, Celia Walden, Baroness Scotland and former BT President Julie Woods Moss.
The WIE Symposium will offer a full day of thought-provoking panels, inspirational master classes and powerful keynote speakers. The day commences with the inaugural WIE50 Power Breakfast – an annual event that will honour 50 of the top female business trailblazers at the iconic London Stock Exchange. Subjects to be addressed at the conference include Tools for the Entrepreneur, Women and Leadership, Women in Media, The Luxury Industry and Financial Tools for Success. Additionally the Symposium will launch the WIE Mentorship Scheme – a program designed to provide long term support and advice from leading businesswomen to young women about to embark on their careers.
The WIE Symposium is the brainchild of television presenter June Sarpong and former film executive Dee Poku, who conquered New York with an initiative designed to create a platform for this generation’s women leaders to inspire and empower the next.
June Sarpong and Dee Poku commented; “We are incredibly excited about launching WIE in the UK. The UK is filled with incredible female thought leaders who are already doing their bit to empower the next generation. Our goal is to harness the legendary creativity and innovation of London to empower women and girls across the country and help them reach their full potential.”
Tickets are on sale now and are available at www.wienetwork.org at £150.00 per person. The event will take place at London’s Hospital Club.
