DESCRIPTION:Event Details\nDate: Friday\, 6th March 2026 \nVenue: Fallon and Byrne \nWrap-Up: Networking lunch \n\nWho Should Attend\nPublic sector professionals at all levels who are ready to take the next step in their leadership journey — whether by growing their visibility\, strengthening their voice\, increasing their impact\, or deepening their role as allies in advancing gender equity. \nLimited places available. Early registration is recommended. \nReserve your spot today and be part of a movement where women stop being the best-kept secret — and start leading from the front. \nDownload full Agenda Here \n\n  \n\n \nIn today’s working landscape visibility isn’t about self-promotion… it’s about self-belief. \nJoin PAI for an engaging Women’s Network session exploring how women can confidently “set out their stall” — showcasing their skills\, leadership potential\, and authentic value in a way that feels natural and empowering. \nWe look forward to welcoming our 2026 panel of expert speakers\, industry leaders and champions of change to explore the three pillars of visibility that help women stand out and step up: \n  \nCorporate Responsibility – How organisations can be intentional in supporting women’s career development\, especially in flexible environments. \nPersonal Branding – Building your presence\, saying “yes” to opportunities\, and confidently sharing your voice — even when you don’t have all the answers. \nAllyship & Sponsorship – The vital role of advocates and champions who promote your achievements and open doors when you’re not in the room. \nThis is your opportunity to reflect\, connect\, and gain practical insights on how to be seen\, be heard\, and be ready for what’s next. \n  \nThis year’s theme\, “Visibility”\, puts a spotlight on how women can rise to greater influence and impact — authentically and confidently. Whether you’re already in a leadership role or looking to step into the spotlight\, this event will explore how to show up\, speak up\, and stand out in ways that feel aligned with your values and goals. \n\n\n \n\n                                                      Hear From Our Lead Trainer Ashley Hughes
