On International Women’s Day, the March8 community celebrated the launch of their inaugural magazine. Drofa Comms UK PR Manager Masha Balanovich shares highlights from the event.

“Most importantly, it was a gathering of numerous inspiring women discussing their success stories and how their companies contribute to women’s empowerment. The conference was divided into three sections: Educate, Motivate, Elevate, with panel discussions in-between.”

She adds that women in tech have faced a 10-20 year setback from the pandemic, but events like this serve as a trampoline to relaunch careers and seize opportunities.

As a financial and fintech company we are daily involved in our bubble knowing the problems the industry has and contributing to their solutions. However, expertise from other, seemingly unrelated fields, could help see that other angle and think outside of the box. March8 speakers work in pharmaceutical, sport, gaming, wellness, marketing and many other industries and I’m sure that this kind of diversity is empowering in itself.
