Breakout sessions
During the lunch break (12:00 – 14:30), the Women & Leadership Conference will offer a variety of opportunities for networking through a series of optional breakout sessions.
Three different activities will take place simultaneously in separate breakout rooms at the conference venue. Each session lasts 30 minutes and is offered twice during the lunch break, allowing participants to attend up to two different activities.
The breakout session options are:
- Taboos: From Menstruation to Menopause
- Role Models: Meet the Speakers
- Academic Speed Dating
As the capacity for each session is limited, registration will take place on a first-come, first-served basis on the morning of the conference day, 12 November 2026. If you are considering taking part, we strongly encourage you to explore the session descriptions below in advance to help you decide which activities may be of interest before arriving at the conference.
Participants wishing not to participate in the breakout activities are invited to enjoy the university's main entrance hall, where our partners and various stakeholders will host poster tables throughout the conference day.
We look forward to welcoming you at our lunch break activities!
