You're invited to the next Women in Product London event!

Building a career in product while planning, growing, or supporting a family is a complex juggling act—and many women face tough choices along the way.

With nearly half of women in technology leaving by age 35, we’re going to unpack why, share honest and insightful stories, and highlight strategies that help women stay in their product careers and thrive.

You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions of our panellists in a safe and friendly environment, as well as the chance to network with your peers over drinks and canapés before and after the panel takes the stage.

Join us for what promises to be an intimate and insightful conversation with a group of product leaders. Whether you’re a parent, planning for the future, or an ally committed to creating inclusive product teams, this conversation is for anyone invested in shaping a more supportive product environment.
