Tickets are on sale now for Milton Keynes’ flagship International Women’s Day (IWDMK26) event, happening at Wolverton's Ridgeway Centre this March.
The organisers of IWDMK26 are aiming to build on last year’s incredible success and are inviting female business owners, professionals, women leaders, young women, and male allies to secure their tickets before the early bird prices end.
Last year’s event drew widespread praise for its inspiring talks, hands-on workshops and insightful panel discussions. Keynote speaker Jaz Ampaw-Farr received exceptional feedback from delegates, setting a high benchmark of quality for the year ahead. Organisers say the 2026 programme will expand on that momentum and showcase a broader range of perspectives from across Milton Keynes and the wider region.
"We are immensely proud of the growthg and impact IWDMK has achierved," said Debbie Lewis, Community Manager at the NetWest Accelerator, and event organiser.
"This collaborative initiative is designed to continually evolve and expand, celebrating the talents of diverse individuals and organisations across Milton Keynes," she said, "More than that, it serves to inspire, empower and connect our communities while raising vital funds for local women's charities. IWDMK provides yet another reason for our city to feel proud and shine within our region."
IWDMK26 will include inspiring speakers, networking sessions, workshops, entertainment and exhibitor stands from local businesses and charities. The event remains open to all genders, reinforcing its commitment to fostering an inclusive business community and welcomes an increase in male allies to show their support of International Women’s Day in MK
