About the Public Sector Women in Leadership 2025
ACCELERATING FEMALE LEADERSHIP IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR
Building on the huge success of the 2023 and 2024 Business Post Public Sector Women in Leadership Conferences, the 2025 event will again bring together Ireland’s most dynamic public sector women, and their allies for a day of high-impact learning, leadership insight, and career empowerment.
As Ireland continues to navigate transformation across housing, health, climate, digitalisation, and public trust, this year’s summit explores how female leadership is not just desirable, but essential in delivering better public outcomes for all.
Expert speakers will discuss a range of hot topics including the role of schools and colleges in equipping girls and women to take on leadership roles; leading a culture of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) awareness in government organisations; addressing gender bias to achieve ethical artificial intelligence; driving excellence in public service with innovation and digital transformation, and leveraging technology for enhanced public sector efficiency.
The conference will also showcase some of the leading stars at the forefront of the public service. Key topics will be the role of women in climate policy, sustainability strategy, and green innovation within public bodies as well as how women leaders are shaping the future of Ireland’s health system transformation and ensuring equitable access to care.
The Summit will give aspiring female leaders the opportunity to learn from the inspirational women already in leadership positions, learn from their ambitious, yet challenging journey to the top and understand how to tackle the challenges that exist today.
We will also feature some initiatives and programmes in Ireland’s leading private sector companies that are creating diverse, equitable and inclusive workplaces that allow every employee to thrive, regardless of their background.
So if you are an aspiring female leader within the public sector, including all departments and agencies, local authorities, semi-state organisations and government administrations, then join us on 25 November to hear how you can accelerate your leadership in the public service.
