Celebrating the brilliant and bold women in the startups community
On 5 March 2022, Brighton and Hove’s largest independent co-working community, PLATF9RM, is bringing back their annual event to celebrate the bold, brilliant women in our community.
Marking International Women’s Day each year, Kickass Women has become a hotly anticipated event in PLATF9RM’s calendar. This year will be v3.0 of the conference, and promises to be the most special yet. In a day-long programme of talks, workshops and special features, a diverse group of women will join forces to tell their incredible stories and show us how we can each become part of a very different future. As well as sharing their unique knowledge and insight, they’ll offer practical ways to become truly #BoldAndBorderless.
Drawing on learnings from the last two years of separation, this will be a hybrid event. PLATF9RM will bring people together in real life and online, with the goal of finding the silver linings of what we’ve endured and breaking down barriers to connection and inclusion for women everywhere.
PLATF9RM will wrap up the day with a #PLATF9RMconversation on what it means to be Bold Without Borders. A special panel of speakers will dig deep into how the social landscape is changing, and how women everywhere can tap into the opportunities opening up before them.
