We will also be having a keynote/meet and greet drinks reception on the Friday night, and a live music evening on the Saturday night. </div><div><br></div><div>Speakers already confirmed include Harriet Minter, Editor of <i>The Guardian</i>'s Women in Leadership section, and Louise Court, Director of Editorial Strategy at Hearst Magazines.</div><div><br></div><div>We would like to invite students and non-students from across the country to our event—if you contact us directly we can try to find you affordable travel and accommodation options—regardless of whether you are a woman or if you aspire to enter the industry.
