Celebrate and learn from the leading women in culture with this panel of true changemakers

Creative Careers is highlighting women who looked at the current landscape and saw opportunities to shake things up, challenge systems and address inequality in the spaces where they’ve made their name.

They will give you a picture of their work, their philosophies and their approach to affecting change as female leaders in the arts and creative industries. 

We will be joined by:

Endy McKay, Co-founder and creative director of Outspoken Arts
Sarah Ditty, Head of Policy at Fashion Revolution 
Megan Thomas, Co-Founder of PR Agency, Full Fat
Ayishat Akanbi, Fashion stylist, writer, commentator and artist

As always, dinner’s on us.
