Limitless | Thursday, June 16, 12.00-2.30pm, 6 Hamilton Place
At Thoughtworks, we are passionate advocates for positive social impact and greater equality in our industry and wider society. As such, we believe it’s important to find space for women leaders to share common concerns, experiences and learnings. We launched Limitless specifically for this purpose.
We are delighted to see the Limitless community continue to grow and are proud to facilitate valuable dialogue alongside trailblazing women speakers from diverse backgrounds. We are thrilled to announce that Limitless will once again be held in person, 12.00-2.30pm on Thursday, June 16th at 6 Hamilton Place in Mayfair, London.
