This event will bring together professionals and women in leadership from across the security spectrum to explore the Summit theme: “Unlocking Potential: A Roadmap to Accelerating Women’s Impact in Security.”

Through a mix of keynotes, panel discussions, workshops, and extended networking sessions, the Summit aims to equip attendees with the tools, insights, and inspiration needed to take charge of their career journeys and drive meaningful change within their organisations.

The day is divided into two distinct sections:

Morning: Own Your Path - Empowering Women in Security
A focus on personal and professional development, including confidence-building, leadership, and career growth.

Afternoon: Pave the Way - Shaping Inclusive Workplaces
A look at how individuals and organisations can promote diversity and inclusion and support other women in security.

The AWSN Summit will provide a valuable opportunity to connect with like-minded professionals, learn from industry leaders, and engage in thought-provoking dialogue that advances the role of women in security.
