Thursday, 18 May, 8 am, Ronnie Scott’s

Super Delegates + Invite Only

Raising the next generation of women leaders: Women take only 39% of CXO roles within the advertising industry, which does not proportionally represent the full diversity of our society. Our generation needs to strive to give the next one more opportunities so that today’s inequities, misrepresentation and gender pay gap will not continue and also better business results will be achieved. So how can today’s leaders take meaningful and measurable action to improve the representation of women in the CXO seats of our industry?
