About Women With Metal
Our Vision
Women With Metal is committed to fostering connections among all women and allies working in the metal sectors, especially metal ladies. Our annual Women in Manufacturing conference equips attendees with knowledge to help you thrive in your career, along with the confidence to shine. Join us for the upcoming women in steel conference, where we celebrate the achievements of Women in the Metal Industry and gear up for the women of steel conference 2024.
Annual Conference
We launched in October 2023, attracting over one hundred women for the Women in Manufacturing conference in Birmingham, UK. Our conference 2024 will take place at the ICC Birmingham on 29th October, and we anticipate it will be a huge success, especially for attendees of the women of steel conference 2024.
The 2025 conference is scheduled for 8th October at The ICC, Birmingham, and we've seen growth of 65% compared to the 2024 event, a testament to the rising influence of metal ladies in the industry.
Looking ahead to 2026, we are excited to move to The Eastside Rooms to provide even better value for delegates, thanks to our dedicated sponsors. The 2026 conference, focusing on women in the metal industry, will be held on 17th September.
