Nourishing our next-generation leaders
This year’s Women of the Future Summit is dedicated to giving next-generation female leaders a boost of energy and support, recognising that we have all been digging deep for a long time through the Covid-19 pandemic and its knock-on consequences. Our aim is to be deeply practical, sharing insight, inspiration and connections that can accelerate delegates’ leadership journey and support their personal wellbeing.
In times of stress and complexity, it can be very natural for our perspectives to narrow. Yet the ability to take a step back is a key element of great leadership. Session One is aimed at helping us re-broaden the way in which we think and, in turn, giving us a greater chance of coming up with a fresh and creative angle that adds value.

A panel of leaders share their advice and experience.
The Women of the Future Programme connects next-generation female leaders from around the world and has done so for 15 years, supported by an extraordinary network of sponsors, partners and allies. At this year’s summit, we want to share the power of this network with our delegates, curating practical conversations about some of the immediate or longer-term challenges faced by our summit attendees.
Delegates join their chosen session for a small group conversation. The four session categories are:
Leadership: meet global leaders, coaches and neuroscientists who can deepen your understanding of great leadership.
Raising money: meet global investors, financiers and accelerators who can advise you on how to navigate the system.
Finding new business: meet global entrepreneurs and senior business people who have developed their tricks of the trade.
Raising awareness: meet journalists, expert campaigners and marketers who can advise you on your strategy.
