What We Do

At IWF UK, we advance women’s leadership by creating powerful opportunities to connect, learn, and lead. Our annual events programme is at the heart of what we do - offering members a rich platform to exchange ideas, share experiences, and support one another.

“The programme of events is extremely vibrant & IWF UK offers a varied programme of in-person & online events.”

"I have met incredible women and been introduced to many more via the community. I have made friends with remarkable women I would not otherwise have crossed paths with."

Conversations that Matter

We host an inspiring and diverse calendar of events - both online & in-person:

  • Conversations with trailblazing speakers sharing personal and professional journeys

  • Networking breakfasts and behind-the-scenes tours

  • Topical discussion evenings, special interest events, and members' Dine-Arounds

  • Signature Events such as the Jean Denton Lecture, Spring and Autumn Receptions, the Festive Season Breakfast, and our Annual General Meeting

Empowering Leadership Through Community & Insight

Beyond events, we promote and support women’s leadership in many ways:

  • Publishing members' leadership stories and thought leadership articles

  • Connecting globally through the International Women’s Forum network of 8,000+ women leaders across 35 countries

  • Collaborating with partners such as Duke Corporate Education, One Loud Voice, and Cranfield’s Female FTSE Report to drive progress on gender equality and board diversity

  • Championing the next generation through mentoring, development programmes for mid-career women, and the IWF Fellows Program, featured in Forbes

  • Showcasing women leaders on our social media platforms @IWFUKwomen using #IWFLeadsChange

  • Providing a supportive network for advice, guidance, and meaningful connections

  • Through everything we do, we aim to inspire, amplify, and accelerate the impact of women in leadership—today and for the future.
