AT THE Northamptonshire Chamber of Commerce, we are proud to support International Women’s Day.
This year’s theme, #AccelerateAction, highlights the urgent need to address gender inequality on a global scale. According to the World Economic Forum, at the current rate of progress, it will take until the year 2158 – roughly five generations from now – to achieve full gender parity.
The theme #AccelerateAction underscores the necessity of taking swift, decisive steps towards gender equality. It urges individuals, organisations and governments to prioritise breaking down systemic barriers and challenging the biases that women face in all areas of life.
Whether in personal relationships or professional environments, the call to action is clear: we must work together to accelerate the pace of change and create a more equitable world.
In line with this year’s theme, alongside our Northamptonshire Business Exhibition, we are hosting a Women With Vision event to mark International Women’s Day. This event will take place on March 6, 11am-noon, at Wicksteed Park. The event is free to attend.
The Women With Vision event will provide a platform for meaningful discussion and networking, with a particular focus on how we can collectively accelerate action in our workplaces and communities.
Open to both Chamber members and non-members, the event is an opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals who are passionate about driving positive change. Together, we will explore practical strategies and share inspiring stories of progress and success.
“At the Northamptonshire Chamber of Commerce, we are excited to host the Women With Vision event as part of our International Women’s Day celebrations,” said the Chamber’s event manager Kate Dent.
“This year’s theme, #AccelerateAction, is a powerful reminder of the work we must all do to create a fairer, more inclusive world. I am thrilled to bring together individuals and organisations who are passionate about driving change and making gender parity a reality. Join us for a day of connection, inspiration, and progress.”
As part of this celebration, attendees can also enjoy the Northamptonshire Business Exhibition which will be running alongside the Women With Vision event. Open from 10am-3.30pm, the exhibition is a vibrant showcase of the local business community.
It provides a fantastic opportunity for organisations across the county to connect, promote their services, and engage in valuable networking activities. With hundreds of businesses expected to attend, the exhibition promises to be a dynamic hub of innovation and collaboration.
International Women’s Day serves as a powerful reminder of the progress that has been made and the work that still lies ahead. By coming together at events like Women With Vision and supporting initiatives such as the Northamptonshire Business Exhibition, we can amplify our collective efforts to achieve gender parity.
Let us seize this opportunity to reflect, collaborate and take tangible steps towards creating a brighter future for everyone.
Join us in celebrating International Women’s Day and contributing to the #AccelerateAction movement.
