Socially Shared are proud to present our 7th Annual Women In Business Conference on Friday 13th June 2025. Sponsored by Acorn HR and Willsons Solicitors.
Since our very first Women In Business Conference in 2017, the event has grown in stature and popularity. Women travel from across the Midlands and more widely across the UK, to attend our headline event of the year!
Where
Our venue for this year’s conference is the Windmill Village Hotel, Golf Club and Spa, a quality 4* hotel venue on the outskirts of Coventry. Boasting high ceilings, air conditioning and plenty of natural daylight, it’s a fantastic space for our event.
If the weather is good, we will be able to open the bi-fold doors that run the length of the suite, onto the adjoining patio where our guests will be able to enjoy their lunch and refreshment breaks.
