A Glimpse Into the Power of the GLL Women’s Day Agenda

While the 2025 agenda is still in the works, the 2024 programme offers a preview of the calibre of content and speakers you can expect. Last year’s theme, Making an Impact and Advocating for Change, brought together trailblazers like Alexandra Shulman, former Editor of British Vogue, and sparked powerful conversations on leadership, inclusion, and wellbeing.

One standout session—Navigating the Menopause—featured expert voices from Myla Health, Women of a Certain Stage, and Close Brothers, shining a light on how legal teams can better support women’s health in the workplace.

The full 2025 agenda will be released soon—but for now, scroll down to explore last year’s lineup and get a sense of what’s to come.
