You are invited to Join WISH London for our Summer Drinks Networking Event.

Join us to network and hear guest speakers, sharing their experiences of networking and reverse mentoring, with practical advice to use on the day.

The event will include 30 minutes of speeches and an hour for a reverse mentoring/networking session. Young WISH and WISH Education will take the lessons learned from the “how to network” session held previously online and give people a real-life opportunity to practice.

This event will be hosted by Kathryn Gundry, WISH Education Board Member, Kemi Oguntoye Young WISH and Alexandra Andone WISH Ambassador.

This is a charity event with proceeds going to “The Girls Network”. Their mission is to inspire and empower girls from the least advantaged communities by connecting them with a mentor and a network of professional female role models.
