    Female Leadership Forum 2021: Leading Without Limits

    New International Conference Centre

Dear all,

You are invited to attend the Female Leadership Forum 2021 on Saturday, 29 May!

The Female Leadership Forum is an annual event bringing together students, young leaders and industry stalwarts to discuss and engage in the most pressing topics about leadership, diversity, and inclusion. The theme of this year’s event is “Leading without Limits”.

Now in its third year, Nottingham University Business School China (NUBS China) is proud to present the Female Leadership Forum in conjunction with Global Women Connect and China Europe International Business School (CEIBS). The forum will take place in a hybrid online-offline format that unites the two campuses for an exciting inter-university event accessible to audiences around the globe.

Come join the conversation about diversity and inclusion featuring keynote speeches, workshops, and panel discussions from Bloomberg, SoGal Ventures, ThermoFisher Scientific, Aptar Group, Blackmores, and B Corps China, plus exclusive mentors from Merck, ClassPass and more.

Leading Without Limits

In our lifetimes, we each face various limitations. Some restrictions are the ones placed on us by society, yet others are the ones we place on ourselves.

These preconceived notions constrict our world views, self-beliefs and leadership potential by forming a false narrative about the scope of our possibilities.

As women, we are more capable than we believe.

As men, we are more essential to diversity and equality than we believe.

Through this event we hope to empower women to believe in their right to lead without limits and inspire men to engage without hesitation.

What do I gain from attending this forum?

Insight – Understand modern conversations about diversity and inclusion as they are happening in the world around you. Our workshop on unconscious bias will give you the tools to make better business decisions and build stronger businesses with more inclusive leadership.

Ideals – Envision a future of limitless possibility by having the passion to believe in change and the courage to enact it. Engage with our expert speakers to learn about how they overcame obstacles on their journeys to success.

Inspiration – Find the motivation to pursue your goals and dreams. Activate your spirit of community at our informal networking drinks and apply for exclusive mentoring with our executive coaches.
