Women in IP annual event 2025!
Inclusivity in IP: Ten Years On, Ten Ahead
1 October 2025, 5.30 pm arrival for 6.00 pm start
Kilburn and Strode, London and online, plus regional networking events
On behalf of the IP Inclusive Women in IP committee and Events Focus Group, we invite you to the Women in IP Annual Event 2025. This is an in-person event in London, with 8 other regional events also taking place in locations across the UK at the same time. The regional events will watch a live-stream of the panel event hosted in London, followed by in-person networking and drinks for all events. There is also the option to dial in remotely too.
On Wednesday 1 October 2025, we are hosting a panel discussion, followed by audience Q+A, where we will be discussing the experiences of women working in IP over the last 10 years, and looking ahead to the next 10 years (it’s IP Inclusive’s 10 year anniversary after all!). Many factors, including intersectionality, means that each person’s experience is unique. We will therefore hear from a diverse panel of people working in the IP professions – in terms of experience, role, ethnicity, route into profession etc. as well as gender to gain an ally perspective. There will be lots of different view points, and so there should be something for everyone in the audience to relate to and learn from. Come and join us as we look back on what has changed and what we have achieved, and look to the future to ask the question – how can IP Inclusive achieve their mission?
Everyone is welcome – all roles, all genders. Please also think about bringing someone with you who has not attended an IP Inclusive or Women in IP event before.
