We are tremendously excited to announce our inaugural Women in Football Be Inspired conference – a full day of information and advice, speakers and sessions to supercharge your career, supported by our lead partner Barclays.

This member only event will be hosted by broadcaster and WIF ambassador, Jacqui Oatley MBE, with confirmed speakers including:

• Emma Hayes OBE, Manager, Chelsea FC Women

The day’s programme will be jam-packed full of information and advice for all women in football, including those already working in the game as well as those who would like to, but don’t know where to start. Sessions will be tailored to your experience and there really will be something for everyone, from newcomers looking for that first opportunity, to those with more experience, who want to meet and network with peers and hear from some fantastic speakers. Thanks to our lead partner, Barclays, the conference will be free to attend.
