Inspiring the next generation of female leaders in the creative industries.

We’ve been Creative Equals’ event partner since the inception of RISE in 2018.

We delivered the conference both in-person and online since then, growing from 150 attendees in 2018 to over 550 virtually in 2021 and 400 in person in 2022. Each year we book and brief all the speakers, including David Lammy, Gina Miller, Caitlin Moran & Reni Eddo-Lodge (to name a few). We also manage all the sponsorship agreements and fostering relationships with companies, including Spotify, Google & Facebook.

In 2021, we brought the event online and managed to maintain the intimate, personal, feeling that RISE creates, allowing attendees to have a safe space for open and honest conversations.

Every year, RISE leaves a lasting impression on those that attend. We’re excited to take this event from strength to strength in the years to come.

RISE is about more than just one day; it’s an ongoing movement to accelerate the pace of change in creative leadership each and every day.
