Why Should You Attend?

Bright Network's International Women's Day 2019 event is a brand new celebration which we hope you can join us for. The driving forces behind this event are the members of Bright Network's inaugural Student Leadership Board – 11 bright, passionate female students who are committed to female empowerment. They have represented the wider Bright Network community and incorporated other members' ideas to design an event that the Board hope will educate, enable and empower young women to become female leaders of the future. You can learn more about our International Women's Day Student Leadership Board and meet the members here.

Here’s our Student Leadership Board to share the reasons why they’ll be celebrating International Women’s Day:

The selected attendees will also benefit from:
