"The successful investment firm of the future will be differentiated by its culture and its ability to attract the best talent. Women of all races, ages and backgrounds bring a variety of input, opinion and challenge that brings huge value to every part of an organisation and drives innovation.

However, how many times have you been into the boardroom, a conference, or a meeting room and been one of the few women in the room. With many companies still struggling to promote women into senior roles, we need to have candid, open, and courageous discussions about diversity and inclusion.

This festival will seek to serve as a beacon for the benefits of a truly diverse industry for all, whatever gender, colour or creed. Although it will naturally talk to and celebrate the achievements of women, we also believe we should showcase the role men play in the equation, and highlight examples of best practice where their support is helping to drive change for true gender equality.

Investment Week, Professional Adviser, Professional Pensions, Retirement Planner and Investment Europe have collaborated to launch the Women in Investment Festival. We’ll be celebrating successful women in the investment industry, sharing personal experiences of their journeys and the challenges along the way. This one-day, three streamed festival, taking place just ahead of International Women's Day 2020, will ask the hard questions: What is working and what isn’t when it comes to recruiting, promoting, and retaining top talent? What does an “inclusive” work culture look like? How do we move from D&I as not just a business case but a strategic imperative".
