Please join us for the 7th annual London Business School Women in Business Conference, which will take place on October 20, 2006 from 8:30 am -6:00 pm at London Business School. The theme of this year’s conference, Creating Opportunities in an Evolving Business World, recognises the dynamic environment of today’s business world and addresses how to embrace this change with a career-enhancing strategy.

Female professionals and students will have the opportunity to network, share experiences, and gain insight on how to fully realise their potential for personal and professional development. The Conference will be opened by Dean Laura Tyson and will feature a keynote address by Vivienne Cox, Executive Vice President, BP Gas, Power & Renewables. Conference attendees will also have the opportunity to attend panel discussions on a range of issues, including Succeeding in a Global Career, Leveraging Female Success Factors, Emerging Trends in Microfinance, Challenging Gender Stereotypes and the Role of Choice, Conquering New Ideas in Entrepreneurship, and Personal Wealth Management. The Conference will be followed by a networking reception from 4:30 pm to 6:00 pm.

The conference is one of the School’s initiatives to further the participation and status of women in business. Scholarships, mentoring programmes and participation as a member of the Forte Foundation – a consortium of major corporations, top business schools and influential non-profit organizations dedicated to seeing more women in business leadership roles – are among the other initiatives the School is involved in.

The Lehman Brothers Centre for Women in Business – a research centre dedicated to promoting women at all stages of their careers and assisting organizations to attract, retain and develop the broadest talent pool– is also based at the School.
