welcome!
we are a community & network of women in events striving for a more equitable events industry.
OUR three PILLARS
community
Women supporting women through shared experiences, collaboration and networking opportunities.
2. representation
More women, especially those from diverse backgrounds, in senior leadership, on boards, as founders, and thought leaders—it's that simple!
3. equity
Creating opportunities, advocating for equal pay, access, and fair treatment for everyone across all sectors of the industry.
The UK's largest study into the experiences of women working in the events industry
Building on 600+ responses in year one, The Big Survey returns in 2026 with an ambitious goal: to create the most comprehensive picture yet of women's experiences across the UK events sector and turn those insights into meaningful action.
TW! Please note that we cover sensitive topics, including SH/SA; we only encourage you to engage if you feel comfortable

“there are clear synergies between the events and hospitality industries and they have shared many of the same challenges in recent years. I’m happy to be asked to contribute to NOWIE’s continued development and look forward to our work together making experiences better for women across the board”
— Kate Nicholls OBE, UKHospitality
“NOWIE brings immense value to our event, not only through their extensive network, even going beyond by suggesting new ways we can work together. Their professionalism and innovative thinking have been instrumental in enhancing the overall experience for our attendees and partners.”
— Steve Theivendrarajah, Group Portfolio Director at The Event Production Show
“The full-time freelancer world is now looking more achievable for 2025 which is something I didn't think would be possible for me at this stage in my career. Thank you again for all your help!”
— Kitty Briggs, Level Up 2024 mentee
‘The work NOWIE do is both important and inspiring. We’ve seen firsthand over the years the challenges women in the industry can face and we believe those doing great work to address that should be supported. we are delighted to partner with NOWIE and are very excited to see their plans for the organisation come to fruition in the coming months and years.’
— Mark Breen, Safe Events Global
