Up to 300 women from the Causeway Coast & Glens community 'Celebrate HER' for International Women's Day

The conference, organised by Enterprise Causeway and supported by Go Succeed, was hosted by Ulster University on its Coleraine campus on Thursday, March 5.

Hosted by Digg Mama podcaster Caroline O’Neill, attendees were welcomed by Ulster University Students’ Union President, Emily Roberts, before keynote speaker Breda McCague of Aiming4Awesome took to the stage.

The second keynote address of the day was given by Laura Rainey of the charity organisation Hope & Light before a panel discussion with Grace Smith of Ballymoney’s Forge Female Fitness, Coleraine actor Jayne Wisener, north coast designer Sara O’Neill and founder of Positive Futures Dr Agnes Lunny.

With opportunities for networking and interacting, the conference was rounded off with a ‘fireside chat’ with Tina McKenzie of Staffline Recruitment and a surprise performance by the Rock Choir.
