A summit focused on women's empowerment will return to Hove later this year.
The Future Women Summit 2025 will take place on November 7 at the 1st Central County Ground (Sussex County Cricket Ground).
It aims to bring together women entrepreneurs, business leaders and changemakers for a day of learning, connection and growth.
Now in its third year, the summit addresses the ongoing gaps in funding and leadership opportunities for women.
Mi Elfverson, founder of EyeStorm Women and The Vlog Academy, said: "Too many brilliant women are still lacking the confidence to speak up.
"They’re not playing small — they’ve been taught to stay invisible, to wait for permission to speak.
"The Future Women Summit brings together those who are ready to stop waiting for permission and start claiming the space they deserve.
"Because when women speak up, the whole world benefits."
The summit will feature eight speakers, including Ella Orr, a personal branding expert from Much More Social, Eleshea Williams, marketing officer at Amnesty International, Abi Mellor, managing director of MOREVER and host of the Leading Lights podcast and Mary Connolly, relationship manager for UN Women UK and The Cherie Blair Foundation.

Last year’s summit was described as a "huge success" by organisers, who said attendees left feeling inspired and better connected within the business community.
EyeStorm Women, the organiser of the summit, was founded in 2018 by Mi Elfverson, a visibility and confidence coach with nearly 30 years’ experience in film and TV production.
The organisation runs a grassroots community and training platform to help women build confidence and visibility through online and in-person events.
EyeStorm Women has received multiple awards, including the Corporate LiveWire Innovation Award for "Women's Development Organisation of the Year," the E2Media "Award of Excellence," and Digital Women’s "Women-led Community of the Year Award 2022."
The summit will run from 10am to 5pm, with doors opening at 9.30am.
Early bird tickets were available for £47 until October 12, after which full-price tickets will cost £125.
The 1st Central County Ground is located on Eaton Road in Hove.
