Female Empowerment in the Workplace --- A Panel Discussion

*** UPDATE: Event is now full and we are at capacity. Please look out for our future events as there will be more coming this year! Thank you so much for your interest and we look forward to meeting you all soon! ***

TOPIC:
When is the right time to have a family? How do you deal with the challenges of returning to work after maternity leave? How do you find your place working in a male-dominated workplace or industry? How do you break through the glass ceiling?
