What better way to spend international women’s day than surrounded by women (and a handful of men)? The Future is Female Conference brought together professionals, students and enthusiasts from every corner of the media industry and stimulated debate around an often contentious issue. It created controversy and gave a forum for attendees to thrash out the issues that benefit and hinder women making their mark or developing careers.

The whole day event consisted of panel sessions, screenings and showcases, expert and high profile speakers, networking, recruitment and career advice – there wasn’t a moment to rest!

The speakers gave attendees the chance to hear firsthand how they’d built successful careers and their advice on achieving the same. With all having a varied and fascinating story to tell, speakers gave an invaluable insight into the many outlets for women’s creative and dynamic abilities. It was commonly agreed that women will continue to become a driving force in developing the sector, opening channels for new revenue streams and new ways of working.
