In the Room: Getting to the Top Table & the Next Stage of Growth

A panel and networking evening on what stops women moving from senior roles into real decision-making power, in boardrooms and as scaling founders. Three threads: the corporate ceiling (sponsorship versus mentorship), what makes someone board-ready, and the founder-to-CEO jump, including raising money and building an advisory board. Overtime by ClearSky runs it with SWiT (Scotland Women in Technology) and the Royal Bank Accelerator's She Scales programme. Arrivals and drinks from 17:00, panel at 17:30, audience Q&A at 18:00, networking until 19:00. Panellists haven't been announced yet. Free, at the Royal Bank Accelerator on Princes Street. Register on Eventbrite. Why go: it puts SWiT's corporate tech leaders and She Scales founders in one room, which doesn't happen often in Edinburgh. Best for women in tech weighing a board seat, a promotion or a first raise.
