Shropshire Chamber of Commerce has revealed details of its flagship event to mark International Women’s Day 2026.

The event, at the Albrighton Hall Hotel & Spa near Shrewsbury on March 6, will bring together business leaders, entrepreneurs and professionals for a day of inspiration, empowerment, and meaningful collaboration.

The Chamber has put together a dynamic programme of speakers, workshops and activities designed to spark ideas, strengthen connections, and celebrate the achievements and potential of women in business.

The day, running from 10am to 2pm, will be hosted by Shropshire Chamber director Fliss Wingrove, a global leadership trainer and coach.

A highlight of the morning will be a workshop with Katie Rothwell, founder of the BEAT Pain programme. She will share her compelling personal journey - from high‑performing RAF military professional to navigating chronic back pain and rebuilding her identity.

Other guest speakers during the day will include Shrewsbury MP Julia Buckley, who will be reflecting on her journey through public life and the realities of serving in Parliament.

Kelly Riedel, Shropshire Chamber’s head of member services, said: “Our International Women’s Day event is always one of the highlights of the calendar, and we’re really excited by this year’s programme.

“Delegates can expect a day filled with powerful stories, practical insight and the kind of inspiration that stays with you long after the event has finished.

“International Women’s Day is a moment to pause, reflect and re‑energise, and this year’s event promises to be one of our most thought‑provoking yet.”

The event also includes dedicated networking time, a buffet lunch, and a collaborative activity to bring the programme to a close.
