British Marine is reminding marine industry professionals to register their interest now for one of the most inspiring events of the year — Women in Marine.
Following the success of last year’s event, Women in Marine returns to the Southampton International Boat Show this September, promising fresh perspectives, dynamic new speakers and a brand-new format.
The event will be held on Wednesday 24 September from 1630 – 1830 at the Quarterdeck Bar & Restaurant, Southampton International Boat Show.
Designed to inspire, connect and grow the vibrant community of women working across the marine sector, this event offers an afternoon of insight, conversation and connection.
This year’s panel and networking event features a line-up of trailblazing female speakers from across the marine industry. Attendees can look forward to compelling personal stories, valuable industry insights, and practical tools designed to empower and elevate women across the marine sector. The theme for this year’s panel discussion and full speaker line-up will be released soon.
Lesley Robinson, CEO of British Marine, commented: “Women in Marine continues to be a vital platform for celebrating and supporting women in our industry. With a new venue, new day and new time, we’re creating an even more dynamic space for open discussion, fresh insights and meaningful networking. We encourage everyone to register now and be part of this exciting event.”
Following the panel discussion, guests are invited to enjoy refreshments and informal networking with colleagues from across the marine sector. This is a valuable opportunity to reconnect with peers, establish new professional relationships and engage in meaningful conversations in a relaxed and welcoming setting.
The event is open to all genders and offers an excellent opportunity to support the progression and visibility of women across the marine sector.
