We are delighted to announce our annual celebration of International Women’s Day. This year we have a wonderful line up of inspirational women from politics, business and entertainment. Join us at the lovely Copthorne Hotel in Sheffield to celebrate the achievements of women across the globe, to society and their economy.

This year's Yorkshire celebration of International Women's Day will be in support of the Katie Piper Foundation and we will be entertained, inspired and reinvigorated by these speakers. So join us for a delicious two course lunch, refreshments and celebrate International Women's Day with Forward Ladies. 

Arlene Phillips
In a rare speaking appearance the choreographer and dancer, who was famously dropped from the Strictly Come Dancing judging panel, alledgedly on age grounds, will be sharing her thoughts on her highly successful career, and talk about how she has overcome sexism and ageism.

Lady Catherine Meyer
Lady Catherine has had a life of changes. After her first marriage broke down her estranged husband abducted their two sons and refused to return them. Her ten year battle to gain access to them turned Catherine into a campaigner for child protection.  Through her access fight she married the British ambassador to the USA, where living in Washington she had a rare glimpse of many key moments of recent American history, from the Monica Lewinski affair to 9/11.

Penny Mallory
The first woman to race in the World Rally Championship and described as the 'Female Jeremy Clarkson' when presenting Top Gear, Penny knows how to succeed and believe in yourself.

Katie Piper
Katie Piper is a beautiful young woman rebuilding her life after surviving a brutal attack where sulphuric acid was thrown in her face. Before the attack, Katie was a model and budding TV presenter with a glowing future in the public eye. More than two years on with more than 40 operations, Katie faces personal challenges daily but she is back in control, living her life.

This will be a unique opportunity to hear some of the best speakers in the UK, talk about issues that directly affect women.
