Last year's International Women’s Day event was a huge success! Here is what this attendee had to say: “It was a pleasure to attend this year’s IWD event hosted by the Cumbria Chamber of Commerce at the North Lakes Hotel and Spa. It was an impressive turnout in terms of attendees, speakers and companies in support of the event. I’m happy to come back with some fabulous new connections via LinkedIn and to have extended my network, especially with people who due to our lines of work we probably would never normally have met.” Book here: https://bit.ly/4hMxzSq 👈
