Maritime UK are delighted to be hosting a 'Women in Maritime Meeting'.

#OceansOfOpportunity - Sharing practice for achieving the Diversity in Maritime Charter.

What are organisations doing to encourage diversity and inclusion, and what part do employee resource groups play in this? The session will take place at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, learning from networks at local organisations.

Additionally, a limited number of places are available to join either a facilitated tour of the SheSees exhibit or the boatbuilding and restoration yard with a harbour tour in the historic launch.

The hybrid network meeting will take place from 10.30 – 12.00 – please indicate whether you will attend in person, online or in person with a tour.
