About Event

Grit International Female Network is pleased to invite you to the Grit Female Leaders in Healthcare Summit-Leading for Change, scheduled to take place on 8th June 2023, The Herbert Park Hotel, Dublin, Ireland.

Grit International Female Network is a female membership community that promotes gender equality across the healthcare ecosystem. Empowering females working in healthcare and life science industries, female founders, investors, public sector, academia and industry.

The Summit is an exclusive event, with all speakers being national and international female leaders in healthcare and life science. Who will share ideas and their personal leadership struggles and accomplishments. Female leaders who have excelled in their careers and are leading for change.

Join us at this unique event to hear thought-provoking panel discussions and become part of the conversations needed for real change. Hear practical advice on how to progress, overcome challenges, drive career growth, improve gender equality and support the next generation of female leaders.

“Gender equality in healthcare leadership is not about feminism. It is about not accepting bias and discrimination as a roadblock to success, but identifying it and having the confidence and perseverance to require real change.”
