Events

We run quarterly events exclusive for Charter signatories, in addition to our public events. At our quarterly events, we bring signatories together with subject matter experts to discuss one of the Charter goals; it is a valuable opportunity to learn from one another and progress with your business goals.

"Access to the Bristol Women in Business Charter events and community has allowed us to continue to develop our understanding of good practice, to hold conversations with clients and other stakeholders about what that means and what our priorities are."
