Speaking Opportunties

We invite you to share your knowledge and raise your profile, both within ISC Group and with external audiences. Please express an interest in joining our speaker list and we will contact you as opportunities present themselves. 

Mentoring

Mentoring others can be a rewarding experience for both the mentor and mentee. Consider becoming a mentor to a rising star, mid-management, or leader and help them avoid the pitfalls and accelerate their careers.

Think Tanks

We are currently in conversation with Think Tanks that focus on championing women in life and work. We look forward to sharing any opportunities that might arise following our discussions. 

Award Nominations

We are always looking for ways to raise your profile. Through our wealth of media partners we are often approached to provide award nominations that recognise our members and the contributions they make within the insurance industry. Please express an interest in being nominated and we will contact you as and when we are approached.
