The National Events Industry Networking Group for Senior Corporate Event Managers

The Influential Women in Events & Marketing (IWEM) networking group provides a motivating environment for professional women in the Events industry to make authentic connections, support each other, share experiences, and achieve personal and professional goals.

We’re often asked how our group came about… it started with a question in May 2016 – ‘Why can’t we find a networking group for event management peers?’

We really wanted to have more meaningful conversations that cut through the small talk and led to deeper connections – a safe space, where we could confide in each other, share knowledge, career opportunities, frustrations or a good laugh.

We started with five members, and we currently have close to 400… it’s obvious we weren’t the only women looking for a powerful network.

Great opportunity to connect

How many times do you think, if only I could share my story with someone who has the similar expertise and encounters similar challenges? Joining this unique group as a member, is a great opportunity to connect with industry peers and like-minded women often in a relaxed and special environment.

The networking is invaluable

Susan and Shelley bring together an amazing group of women who have years of knowledge and wisdom they are willing to share.  The networking is invaluable and I always come away having learnt something new and feeling inspired. Couple that with fabulous venues and you have the perfect event every time.
