Date: 21/03/2025
Location: Virtual or Aon, The Leadenhall Building, 122 Leadenhall St. London, EC3V 4AN (subject to availability)

You are invited to the DP’s Member-only #AccelerateAction International Women’s Day event, kindly hosted by Aon Investment on Friday the 21st of March from 2.30pm to 5pm – with networking afterwards until 6.30pm – at their Leadenhall Building office.

Join us for an exciting line up of speakers, topics and formats including;

  • a panel on NDAs: Fixing the problems not Silencing the Victims. 
  • and a dragon’s den style session on topics that #AccelerateAction for women the most in the workplace
  • an interactive session that is not to be missed!

This event is open to all from Member Firms. We would like to encourage attendance from those who have not attended a DP event before or who may be unsure about the benefits of diversity and inclusion so would like all those attending in person to bring along someone who fits the bill. We hope to welcome as many men as women! Register quickly as we only have 80 in-person places, which will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.

This event is hybrid and everyone is welcome to attend virtually. Please do register for what will be a very interactive and engaging event.

IWD is powered by the collective efforts of all. We look forward to seeing you there!
