Empowering Women in Business is more than a conference – it’s a celebration.
A celebration of ambition, authenticity, and the extraordinary potential of women driving change across every industry.

As a flagship event in the BFA calendar, this much-loved day brings together entrepreneurs, leaders, and aspiring changemakers for a full day of energy, insight and inspiration. Whether you're building a business, leading a team, or exploring new opportunities, this is your space to grow, connect and thrive.

The theme for this year is Leadership. Legacy. Impact. A powerful focus that reflects the real experiences of women across business and franchising today.

The programme will bring together inspiring women from across the sector to celebrate success, share lived experience, and offer practical insight. Through honest conversations and compelling stories, EWIB will explore:

• How women grow sustainable, successful businesses
• The importance of building strong support systems
• Leading with confidence while navigating everyday challenges
• Creating meaningful impact — on your own terms

Moving beyond buzzwords, EWIB 2026 is about empowerment through authenticity, learning from reality, and lifting others as we climb.
