Women into Leadership is back and bigger than ever! This year, our series of conferences will be delivered in-person at a wide range of regional locations, with one online event for those wishing to attend from home. For the full list of upcoming dates, or to register, please click here. 

Now in their twelfth year, the annual Women into Leadership conferences have established themselves as the key events for all those interested in seeing leadership opportunities for women enhanced. Women into Leadership 2022 will examine how female leaders, at any grade, can enhance their skills to become the leader they aspire to be.

The conferences will offer hands-on advice and coaching on how to further develop your career in times of change. You will hear from inspirational women of all grades and levels, within and outside the Civil Service. You’ll discuss together how you can manage the challenges of modern leadership and help ensure the Civil Service doesn’t lose momentum in recognising and rewarding female leaders.
