Join us on Tuesday 13 May in our London office, for an afternoon of inspirational insights and discussion. The event will be exploring key issues around diversity and the challenges faced by women and other underrepresented groups in the energy sector.
A panel of leading individuals in the energy community will be sharing experiences from the businesses they've worked in and their views on how to influence diversity and effect change.
You will have the opportunity to pose questions and take part in an interactive discussion which we hope will be the start of a much broader conversation and action within the sector to continue to improve diversity.
Who should join us?
We want to hear from everyone, whether they are at the outset of their career or more established and hold senior leadership roles in the sector.
This event is not just for women, it is open to all genders. Men are particularly encouraged to help contribute to the discussion and support in effecting change.
