International Women’s Day Special – DisruptHR Norwich

Disrupt Norwich returns on March 7th for a special International Women’s Day edition! Join us at The Assembly House, Theatre St for more fast-paced and inspiring presentations focused on empowering women in business.

Imagine a gender-equal world. A world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination. A world that’s diverse, equitable, and inclusive. A world where difference is valued and celebrated.

Join us on Thursday 7th March (yes, we know it’s a day early but who goes to events on a Friday?! lol) and celebrate women’s achievements, raise awareness about discrimination, and take action to drive gender parity.

The format: Local business experts will present for 5 minutes each. It’s fast-paced, entertaining, and lots of fun! to get a feel for what to expect.
