Women & Money panel
Info: For too long, women have been excluded from vital conversations around money — from investing and pensions to insurance, wealth-building and long-term financial security. This empowering panel brings together leading voices in finance, business and entrepreneurship to change that.
Through honest conversation and practical advice, they’ll break down the financial topics many women were never taught, demystify intimidating jargon and share the tools needed to build confidence, independence and lasting security. From closing the wealth gap to taking ownership of your future, this session explores why financial resilience is more than smart planning — it’s an act of resistance.
