Inspire - The Influential Business Exchange

Founded in 2008, the Inspire Board network provides a secure environment within which senior business women from both the private, public and not for profit sectors share and exchange ideas and experiences with their peers.  Each year, Inspire hosts private and intimate events in the Spring and Autumn in each of its global locations

In the UK, nearly 1000 women in the business community who have significant influence in FTSE250 companies, privately owned, entrepreneurial, fast growing / high visibility businesses, Whitehall and across the public sectors have already become a part of the network to meet like-minded professionals from other sectors.

In the US, over 1000 women in the business community with significant influence across Fortune Global 1000 firms are also a part of our US Chapters, HQ New York and San Francisco, servicing the Silicon Valley community too.

In 2012, as we continue to expand further with our new APAC chapter, we are building strong links with a wide range of APAC Board leaders throughout Hong Kong, China, Singapore and Australia.
