The Socially Shared 7th Annual Women In Business Conference will be held on Friday 13th June 2025. Sponsored by Acorn HR and Willsons Solicitors.
Since the very first Women In Business Conference in 2017, the event has grown in stature and popularity. Women travel from across the Midlands and more widely across the UK, to attend our headline event of the year. The venue for this year’s conference is the Windmill Village Hotel, Golf Club and Spa, Coventry. The theme for the event is ‘Ambition’, exploring this topic in the widest sense of its meaning. The programme brings together a collective of exceptional women speakers, with a wealth of knowledge, understanding and experience, which they will be proud to be sharing.
Tickets are available to book here: https://sociallyshared.co.uk/events/#!event/register/2025/6/13/socially-shared-7th-annual women-in-business-conference.
“It’s been a privilege to have been able to bring so many women together over the last 10 years with Socially Shared. Women that are new to running a business, others that are more experienced and many that are in employment too.
I am excited about our plans to expand the network so that we are able to support even more women in business. Banbury in Oxfordshire is next, with Worcestershire and Derbyshire on the horizon too.” Karen Heap, Founder of Socially Shared
