Following the success of last year’s Inspire Summit, the one day conference and exhibition returns to Manchester’s Bridgewater Hall on the 25th September.
The focus for the 2018 summit is how we attract and retain women in the construction and related industries, with tangible takeaways for industry participants who want to increase their gender diversity.
TRACK 1: With the ‘Inspire Industry Change’ conference track, delegates can expect a comprehensive business case for why the industry needs to change and expert presentations on what needs to be done and how we can achieve gender equality in UK construction, engineering & housing. This will comprise a balanced gender mix of speakers and is aimed at attracting professionals of all sexes who are serious about achieving gender parity in their organisation and the wider industry.
TRACK 2: As with the 2017 event, the paid professional delegates will subsidise free attendance for students, apprentices and women of all ages who don’t currently work in the sector (but are considering doing so) to attend the ‘Inspire the next generation’ conference track. Presentations will highlight current & future roles in construction, break down stereotypes, hear from inspirational female role models, showcase live projects and offer viable routes into an exciting career in the building industry.
