Women in Media Conference

Women in Media Conference Welcome to Women In Media. We're here to change things.

Women in Media 2023

This April, we will be running the eighth groundbreaking student conference celebrating women in media and hearing their stories. This year's conference will be a fully in person event, taking place in the University of Manchester's Students' Union from the 21st to the 23rd of April. We are going to invite influential women who have succeeded in careers including journalism, t

elevision, filmmaking, radio, music, writing, blogging, and photography, to participate in talks, workshops, panels, and Q&As. The conference is being organised and run by a team from the Manchester Media Group, the media wing of University of Manchester Students’ Union. We are all aspiring to work within the media and have already come across obstacles as women at a student level, we aim to change this and empower other students to do the same.
