2023

January 26th 2023 – Happy Christmas to all our DevelopHer community.

After a long hiatus, we are so pleased to announce our first event of 2023 – “Slay beyond your Lane”

Mint, the leading queer women and LGBTQ+ community network with over 65,000+ members is partnering with DiverseCXOs & DevelopHer, two non-for-profit communities offering mentorship, skills-based technology training & career opportunities. The objective is to help women and individuals from diverse backgrounds achieve their career goals and aspirations as well as improving diversity, equity and inclusion at all levels of industry including the C-suite.

Research shows it will take more than 200 years for the leadership of the UK’s largest firms to match the diversity of the working population. In addition, McKinsey has stated, ‘LGBTQ+ women are underrepresented at every stage of the management pipeline, considerably worse than LGBTQ+ men’s representation’. DiverseCXOs/DevelopHer & Mint want to accelerate this from 200 years, to today!

We will be bringing together over 150 queer women & wider LGBTQ+ Mint community with 20 VIP queer women and LGBTQ+ role models. Our theme this year is “How to slay beyond your lane!”

The event features: VIP Interviews, speed mentoring with 20 LGBTQ+ role models, drinks, dancing and all at a 5 star venue – be sure to kick your 2023 off in style.

Tickets will be available soon – so save the date – 26th January 2023 at 7pm.
