2026 International Women’s Day

Friday 6 March – Lakeside Hotel & Spa, Cumbria

Day Event 10am to 3pm | Evening Event 6pm to 9:30pm

International Women’s Day is about more than celebration. It’s about visibility, influence and the power of being in the right room.

This year’s Pink Link International Women’s Day event at the Lakeside Hotel & Spa, part of the Classic Lodges collection and a long-standing supporter of the Enterprise Vision Awards, brings together two remarkable women whose journeys reflect what EVAS stands for.

Guest Speaker, Day Event: Gillian Ashcroft, an EVAS 2025 Inspirational Woman Finalist and Outstanding Achievement Finalist, is a powerful example of purpose-led leadership, social impact and enterprise with heart.

Guest Speaker, Evening Event: Nadine Merabi joins us following an introduction from one of our trusted EVAS Male Allies and judges, David Blakeney. A reminder that meaningful opportunities often start with the right conversation.

This is the EVAS ecosystem in action.

A platform that:

• amplifies women’s stories

• creates trusted introductions

• brings decision-makers, founders and supporters into the same space

• turns conversations into collaboration

Our events don’t just inspire. They connect. They open doors. And they create opportunities for women to do business together.
