Harper’s Bazaar has always championed the cause of the career woman. Since the foundation of our Bazaar At Work programme in 2013, we have sought to empower and inform our readers with the most exciting developments in the world of work, through a combination of thought-provoking print and online content, and in-demand speaker events.
This November, we are set to host the inaugural Bazaar At Work Week in partnership with UBS and Porsche, a four-day series of digital talks, panel discussions and interactive Q&A sessions featuring high-profile women from sectors including business, technology and the arts. Join us from 16 to 19 November to explore themes such as the power of inclusion, the future of the office and how to navigate the uncertainties of the post-Covid landscape; plus, hear a keynote address by our headline speaker, the multi-award-winning actress Gillian Anderson.
Tickets cost £15 per event, or £40 with a gift bag containing an Aspinal of London notebook and a luxury beauty product. An all-access pass for the four-day event, plus the gift bag, costs £75.
