70% of event professionals are women, yet most managerial positions are held by men. This isn’t a coincidence.
GRIT is a dynamic masterclass designed for women and people of marginalised genders who want to be the change in the events industry.
Come chat with us about perseverance, community, grit — how to hold your ground in professional spaces and fight patriarchal practices.
