Networking events for high-performing professional women in 2024
A non-negotiable for all C-suite, high-achieving executives is effective networking. In fact, one study conducted by Chief found that 80% of women leaders use networking events to drive career success while also building broader operational and revenue benefits for their organisations in parallel.
Though with such limited time available, it’s essential that any networking is seen as an investment, with a clear ROI.
With this in mind, we’ve gathered some prominent networking events and programs for senior professional women in London during 2024:
