The theme of this year’s conference is “Embracing Change in a Global Environment” recognising that the global financial and economic crisis has led to a radical re-think of how organisations could and should be managed.  In the wake of this crisis, we hope to debate what opportunities there are for women and more broadly for the next generation to lead in different ways and make an impact in all sectors of the economy and society.  The London Business School Women in Business Conference is widely recognised as a leading women's conference in Europe.
