Accenture organises female-only corporate event
Consultancy firm Accenture hosted female-only corporate events in 26 countries around the world to celebrate International Women's Day.
Around 6,000 people in 49 locations attended the events which had the theme of Women in a Multipolar World.
In London, the event was held at the new Emirates Stadium, the home of Arsenal football club. About 500 women attended – double the number that attended last year, the Times reports.
Fiona Gibson, who organised the corporate event, said: "Whether you support Arsenal or not, [the Emirates] is a place that has a lot of success and achievement around it.
"IIt is really a celebration of women’s achievements and their successes, both inside Accenture and outside in their everyday lives – and it’s part of our plan to attract, retain and promote women, and to keep them happy and motivated."
The corporate event involved a number of workshops, speakers and panel discussions with speakers including Olympic 400m gold winner Sally Gunnell.
