IoD Celebrating International Women’s Day 2025
IoD Isle of Man’s popular lunch celebration to mark International Women’s Day is taking place on 7 March.
Hosted at The Claremont Hotel, Douglas, attendees will have an opportunity to unite, raise awareness, and celebrate the strong female leaders on Island.
The UN theme for International Women’s Day is ‘For ALL women and girls: Rights. Equality. Empowerment.’ Central to this vision is empowering the next generation.
In keeping with the theme, IoD Isle of Man is pleased to welcome guest speakers from Love Tech.
Love Tech is a local registered Charity and initiative run by a group of local business leaders and technologists on the Isle of Man. Love Tech aims is to inspire and empower girls and young women to explore opportunities in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) through events, workshops and mentorship in the Isle of Man.
The event is kindly sponsored by Crowe Isle of Man LLC.
Managing Partner Phaedra Bird, Crowe Isle of Man LLC commented
‘Crowe Isle of Man are proud to sponsor this year’s IOD International Women’s Day event. With three of our four Directors being women, we proudly stand as a testament to the power of female leadership. This sponsorship embodies our unwavering commitment to advancing equality, empowering women across all sectors, and amplifying the voices driving meaningful change in our communities and beyond.
‘International Women’s Day is a time to celebrate the achievements of women, raise awareness of the challenges they still face, and inspire action for gender equality.
‘By coming together at events like this, we can continue the important work of uplifting women, opportunities for growth, leadership, and empowerment to accelerate action.
We are excited to celebrate women’s and will continue working toward a future where every woman has the opportunity to lead, innovate, and thrive every day.’
IoD Isle of Man Chair, Steve Billinghurst said,
“IoD Isle of Man is very pleased to be working with Crowe Isle of Man LLC as sponsor for this year’s continuing popular International Women’s Day lunch.
With the theme of Accelerating Action for gender equality, Love Tech is a fantastic partner to provide the guest speakers for the event. By supporting young girls and women to seek out and take up opportunities across STEM related businesses and events, Love Tech knows the importance of actions to forge gender equality. At current rates, the WEF projects it will take five generations until 2158 to achieve gender equality.
The IoD encourages local businesses to continue to support and advance women and girls through recruiting, retaining and developing diverse talent and by supporting women and girls into leadership, decision-making and providing access to quality training and education.
Notwithstanding some leaders’ recent comments and views, a focus on diversity, equity and inclusion remains a key strategy for businesses to play their part in addressing the barriers and biases that women face”
