International Women's Day speakers

Experts who can carry a company-wide session on 8 March, and who your colleagues will still be quoting in April.

Booking a speaker for International Women's Day is harder than it looks. The date is fixed, the audience is your entire workforce rather than a room of volunteers, and the session has to work for the people who are sceptical about it as well as the people who organised it.

Every expert below has done exactly that. They were auditioned before we put them in front of a client, they run their session live and online so anyone can join from anywhere, and after every session participants rate both the content and the speaker. Those ratings are on this page, unedited.

You can book one of them for a single 60 minute session, or build a full day around several of them on a page that carries your own branding.

Questions

How far ahead do we need to book for 8 March?

A single session can be live within 48 hours: we produce it, so all you need is a date and a topic. A whole event takes about two weeks. Earlier is still better for the choice you get, because around 8 March the best-known experts fill up months ahead.

Can the session run more than once for different time zones?

Yes. A session can run twice on the day, or once live with the recording available afterwards for everyone who could not make the hour.

Do we have to pick a woman as the speaker?

That is your call. Most organisations do for this day, and the list below reflects that, but the sessions on allyship and inclusive leadership are often given by someone else and land differently for exactly that reason.

Looking for a full day rather than one session? International Women's Day runs on a branded page we build for you.
