What would happen if every woman's potential to lead were fully recognised, supported, and celebrated, rather than limited by bias, burnout, or barriers? 

According to FTSE Women Leaders, women now occupy 43.4% of board seats across FTSE 350 companies, a record high, and hold around 35.3% of senior leadership roles. At the same time, the Women in Work Index reveals that the gender pay gap remains entrenched at 13.5% in the UK, and globally, the 2025 Global Gender Gap Index shows that no economy has yet achieved full gender parity.  

The Institute of Government & Public Policy is proud to continue building a reputation for delivering inspirational and empowering diversity, equity, and inclusion events. The Annual Online Women in Leadership Conference 2026 is an essential event for senior women leaders, women-supporting charities, HR professionals, mentors, coaches, trainers, and all who share a vision of a gender-balanced, diverse leadership landscape.  

Join the Institute of Government and Public Policy for the online Women in Leadership conference, which will focus on national trends, employer best practices, and research to show how organisations can evolve to remove friction points in women's trajectories, whether in career return pathways, hybrid/flexible frameworks, evaluation systems, or accountability mechanisms. 

This event is not to be missed. Spaces are limited, so contact us today to avoid disappointment.
