The theme for this year’s conference is ‘Women in Power’ and it will take place at Burgess Hill Girls on Friday 3rd May, between 6pm and 8pm. Free tickets are available for students aged fourteen to eighteen across Sussex.
The speakers have been hand selected by the producer team to reflect the careers and industries that interest themselves and their fellow students. The programme includes Vice-Chancellor of the University of Brighton professor Debra Humphris, founder and CEO of 2nd Line of Defence Lisa Baskott, actress and screenwriter Holly Goss, Liberal Democrats Parliamentary Candidate for Mid Sussex Alison Bennett, and Imperial College London senior lecturer Dr Nazila Kamaly. All the speakers will share the ups and downs of their careers giving attendees invaluable tips on how to fulfil their ambitions.
Sixth Former Sophia Elliot, said:
“It has been a fantastic experience working as part of the team to help produce Tomorrow’s Women 2024. We cannot wait to hear all the speakers’ life and career tips. We are sure they will be invaluable to any girls like us who are looking to make their mark on the world.””
Head of Sixth Form at Burgess Hill Girls, Iain-Regan-Smith is delighted to see the conference in its sixth year.
“We encourage our students to be bold in their learning and life choices. The title of this year’s conference clearly reflects this characteristic as well as the ambition of our conference producers and indeed the wider Sixth Form. I have no doubt that many of them will go on to become women in power. The world will be a better place once they do!”
