A great way to kick off the day. A reminder of the importance of meaningful engagement, human connection, value added vulnerability and the power of a question. Next up, communicating in an emergency.
#LGMA2024 welcomed keynote speaker, Riaz Meghji, on the topic of Every Conversation Counts this morning. Thank you for your inspiring conversations to reinvent ourselves, re-energize our teams, and further our successes. We hope delegates found this presentation as insightful as we did.
It's time for a real highlight of the year - the #ChIPsGlobalSummit! I am so looking forward to catching up with fellow #ChIPsters working to advance women in technology, law and policy. Inclusion needs to be at the heart of innovation in order to see real progress in the legal and tech industries, and I'm glad the theme for the 2023 summit centers on this goal. See you at the summit!

🌟 Excitement is in the air! We're sponsoring the ChIPs Network Global Summit this again this year.
As we gear up for the event on Thursday, we caught up with our attendees Aurore Dacier de Biasi, Rita Tardiolo & Maya Mancuso to uncover their invaluable insights. We asked them about the advice they'd share with aspiring young women looking to make their mark in the legal world, the pivotal role they see women playing in shaping the future of innovation, their preferred ways of "paying it forward," and more!
If you're attending the summit, we’d love to hear from you. Let our attendees know if you’d like to connect whilst we’re there. You can find out more information about the summit here: https://lnkd.in/drTe2QRS#ChIPsGlobal

New Year, New Rules: Break the Mold in 2024! 🌟🎇
As we ring in 2024, it's time for political trailblazers to make resolutions that will redefine leadership. Here's how you can stand out:
✨ Be Bold Against the Old: Challenge the status quo with courage. Dare to be different in your policies and your approach. 🚀
🌟 Raise the Unheard: Commit to being the voice for the underrepresented. Engage, listen, and advocate for those who have been sidelined. 📢
✨ Innovate to Elevate: Forget the 'we've always done it this way' mindset. Embrace new ideas and create policies that are as dynamic as our world today. 💡
⭐ Action Over Words: Make waves with transformative actions that truly benefit the community. Lead with initiatives that matter.
✨ Equality Isn't Optional: Make inclusivity and equity the cornerstone of your campaign. Fight for the rights of all, especially the marginalized. ✊
This year, let's build a future that's not just a repeat of the past. For candidates ready to lead with conviction: your time is now!

I was honored to moderate a panel last week in our McKinsey chalet at the Farnborough International Airshow, that explored how companies can enhance and sustain inclusion and diversity in the sector. We gathered influential leaders from aviation, aerospace, defence, and technology for a fascinating and insightful dialogue.
Some of the highlights from the conversation included:
- Diversity drives innovation, by leveraging diverse perspectives to creatively and effectively solve complex engineering problems
- Culture is key to an inclusive work environment, requiring collaboration between people and leadership to recognise unconscious bias and create a safe space for sharing insights and opinions
- Leveraging advanced technology is crucial for enhancing diversity and inclusion, but we must ensure AI does not instill bias in processes
- Creating the strongest teams by designing in diversity and inclusion, including valuable skillsets and experiences from different generations and backgrounds
Why are we discussing this now? McKinsey’s research shows that $12 Trillion could be added to global GDP by advancing women’s equality (source: https://lnkd.in/gQfN7w95), and the aviation and defence sectors can still do more on gender parity. Let’s keep talking about it and taking action together as a sector.
Special thanks to our panelists Gabby Costigan MBE, Donna Sinnick, and Samantha Vogel for their deep insights and meaningful contributions. Thank you to Holly Driver and Saoirse Collins for helping to organise such a fantastic and important discussion.

Happy Global Meetings Industry Day, #eventprofs!
Today is a day for celebrating our amazing industry and community, but more importantly, it’s a day for raising awareness about the importance, impact, and value of events.
Go to the parties, connect with your industry peers, and celebrate. But also remember that we don’t move the needle by yelling into an echo chamber.
Amidst the celebrations, let’s include some non #eventprofs by:
🔄 Sharing the Infographic below with your network so they can understand the financial impact of our industry.
❓ Asking someone who isn’t in the industry to reflect and tell you a story about a connection they made at an event that changed their life or career. I promise you, everyone has one!
Our work really matters, so let’s celebrate #GMID2024 today, but let’s also make sure the rest of the world understands what we’re celebrating!
Happy #GMID2024
It is International Women’s Day #iwd2024 on Friday March 8. Ahead of the event, we would like to celebrate some of the women working at UNION and how they inspire inclusion, which is the theme of IWD this year.
Meet Tanya, VP of Project at UNION.
What is your role at UNION?
As Vice President of Projects in UNION, I am accountable for driving the development projects forward. I lead a cross functional and diverse project team with highly skilled team members all united to develop UNIONs lead compound orismilast, a potential first-in-class oral treatment for a range of immunological diseases. I am part of UNION’s Corporate Management team where I work closely with my peers to constantly ensure we lead and guide the organization in the right direction and at the same time show trust and comfort, as working in a small biopharmaceutical development company with limited revenue streams, comes with a high risk and insecurity, compared to being part of a large profitable organization.
How are you part of inspire inclusion at UNION?
As member of UNION Corporate Management team, I am part of nourishing an inclusive work environment where colleagues feel valued, respected, and empowered to be their authentic selves. As a leader in biotech, I try to be a role model for other women by being transparent about my career path, including the challenges I have faced and the lessons I have learned along the way. By sharing my experiences and providing encouragement and guidance, I hope to inspire the coming female leaders in biotech and pharma.
