Women’s Network Day & Awards 2026
A full day for women building businesses and careers in Britain — closing with the Businesswoman of the Year award.The Landmark London, Marylebone, London NW1
09:30 registration · 19:00 awards dinner
Business by day, black tie for the dinner.
To put women who run, lead and finance businesses in front of the capital, the customers and the boards they deserve.
The Women's Network Day is the first date in our calendar each year. It brings together founders, executives, clinicians and investors for a day of practical sessions on funding, scaling, governance and visibility.
The evening ceremony is deliberately small. Six trophies are presented from a shortlist drawn out of several hundred nominations — the judges do not fill a category unless the standard is met.
