Women's Financial Resilience: The Moments That Matter
Women's Financial Resilience: The Moments That Matter
After our successful International Women’s Day panel event earlier this year, the IASG is proud to present the next Women in Insurance event - an educational session on moments that matter to women's financial resilience throughout their life.
This event is open to everyone. We encourage women, and those who have female friends and family that they care about, to attend and improve their financial awareness.
What to Expect
📅 Date: Thursday 1 October 2026
📍 Venue: Brodies LLP
⏰ Time: 2:30pm – 4:30pm
🥂 Drinks and networking to follow
Across every woman's life there are pivotal moments that can have a lasting impact on financial security, resilience and independence. From education and career choices to relationships, caring responsibilities, retirement and later-life planning, the decisions we make at key life stages can shape our financial future for decades.
Join Jackie Leiper as she explores the six moments that matter in a woman's financial life, drawing on the influential research from Scottish Widows and the Chartered Insurance Institute's Insuring Women's Futures initiative. This engaging session will provide valuable insights for financial professionals and individuals alike, highlighting the opportunities to better support and empower women at every stage of life.
The event will conclude with networking drinks and an opportunity to continue the conversation with fellow attendees.
