Three inspiring women in tech digital and creative business will share their stories at an online event marking International Women’s Day.
The free event by SheSays Brighton, a group for women in digital, takes place on Monday, March 8 from 6.30pm.
Rifa Thorpe-Tracey, SheSays Brighton organiser and host, said: “Now more than ever, we want to be inspired by women thriving in the digital sector.
“I’m so excited to hear from this line-up of speakers – expect a few surprises! This event might not be the same as meeting in person, but I’ll do my very best to recreate the SheSays vibe.
“I can’t wait to reconnect with this amazing community of bad-ass Brighton women to celebrate International Women’s Day!”
