Positive Impact, the Manchester, England-based organization created by Fiona Pelham in 2005, wants you to share personal stories of inspiration. Its Girls Creating campaign collects powerful tales of empowerment to help inspire the next generation of women in the meeting and event industry, all of which supports the vision of a sustainable event industry.
This is all leading up to International Women’s Day on March 8, during which Positive Impact will present a free, 30-minute-long webinar to engage with women and disseminate the lessons they wish they knew when they were seven years old. Register for the webinar—if you can’t make it to one of the broadcast times on International Women’s Day, fear not, the webinar will be archived and available for on-demand viewing.
