Women Inspiring Futures

Women Inspiring Futures is hosting a networking evening at the South Central Institute of Technology, Milton Keynes College, Bletchley Campus on Thursday 12 November, from 5:30pm to 8:00pm. The night centres on a panel of four women from very different professional backgrounds, each sharing her own career journey and the lessons she's picked up from the challenges and successes along the way. The line-up is Emily Darlington MP, Aisha Ajaib from Women in AI, Rhian Chandhar from Network Rail, and Sabrina Yasmin, director of Glow By Yas.

The evening is run by the Women Inspiring Futures Network, which was co-founded by Sammy Chishty and Nadia Mahmood to bring together women from all professions, industries, and backgrounds to inspire, connect, and lead. It grew out of the founders' desire to support women wondering what comes next: those returning to work after a career break, those considering a change of direction, and those with an idea they haven't yet found the confidence to pursue. The network's values are inspire, connect, and lead.

After a launch event at Nour Maison, the network has since been seeking venues around Milton Keynes for further networking evenings. Each session pairs a panel of women from a range of professional backgrounds, who share their personal career journeys and the lessons learned from their challenges and successes. A spokesperson said the network aims to show women that it is never too late to take their next step.

It's free to attend, though tickets are limited, so you'll need to book in advance. The evening runs from 5:30pm to 8:00pm on Thursday 12 November at the South Central Institute of Technology, Milton Keynes College, Bletchley Campus, MK3 6DR, Milton Keynes.
