Christie Day, Event Director at Hub Exhibitions, said: “Research has proven that businesses who have a
30% female representation at the c-suite and director levels achieve a higher level of profit than those
who don’t. So, more needs to be done to bridge the gap between gender pay and opportunity. Karren
Brady’s Women in Business & Tech Expo is a prime opportunity for professionals looking to further their
careers, start their own business and discuss opportunities with diversity-focused businesses that put
equality at the centre of their operations.”

Attendance to Karren Brady’s Women in Business & Tech Expo is free.
