Inclusion in Finance’s member-only #AccelerateAction International Women’s Day event was hosted by Aon Investment, bringing together colleagues from member firms for an afternoon of discussion, collaboration, and networking.

The hybrid event explored practical ways to accelerate action for women in the workplace, featuring a range of interactive sessions and discussions.

The programme included:

  • Panel discussion: NDAs – Fixing the Problems, Not Silencing the Victims
    A conversation exploring the role of non-disclosure agreements and how organisations can better address workplace challenges while supporting those affected.
  • Dragon’s Den-style session: Ideas to #AccelerateAction for Women in the Workplace
    An interactive session focused on exploring ideas and approaches that can drive meaningful progress for women in the workplace.

The event brought together colleagues from across member firms, both in person and virtually, creating opportunities to share perspectives, build connections, and continue conversations around gender inclusion.

Thank you to everyone who joined and contributed to the discussions on the day.
