IoD Women's Business Forum

Bringing together leaders, entrepreneurs, founders and directors from across multiple sectors, the Forum provides a space to explore the opportunities, challenges and ambitions shaping the future of women in business.

Big ideas. Honest conversations. Meaningful connections.

We’re proud to provide a platform where women’s voices are heard, celebrated and amplified. Through insight, inspiration and connection, delegates can explore opportunities, learn from their peers and walk away with fresh perspectives on what comes next for themselves and their organisations.

The conversations shaping 2027

We're building a programme around the topics that matter most to women in business today. More details will be announced soon, but here's a first look at the themes shaping the 2027 Women's Business Forum.

•Women Who Move Business Forward - driving commercial momentum, accelerating professional progress, and harnessing ambition to deliver lasting impact

•Crafting your Next Move - what is your or your business's next move? Turning ideas and opportunity into measurable impact

•Command the Room - executive presence, authority, and high-stakes pitching—winning investment, influence, and getting into the rooms where decisions are made.

•Allies in Action - cultivating inclusive leadership, embedding genuine male allyship, and turning corporate intentions into measurable structural change

•The Sustainable Career Edge - scaling career heights, navigating pivots, and balancing flexibility, wellbeing, and sustainable growth

This is just a first look. We have an incredible roster of high-profile speakers and panelists still to be announced as we count down to 2027.

Through a dynamic mix of fireside chats, workshops and networking opportunities, our guests will gain fresh perspectives, valuable connections and the confidence to shape conversations and drive action on the issues that matter most.
