A blurb from the Mayor of London's office:

Women in London's Economy Conference

Dear Colleague,

After the highly successful Women In London's Economy ‘Mind the Gap' premiere and ‘Closing the Gap' Best Practise Guide launch last month, we are now preparing for the fourth annual Women In London's Economy Conference, which will be held at the Merchant Taylors' Hall, London, EC2 on Thursday 28th February from 1pm – 6pm. The event will be followed by a drinks reception, which finishes at 8.00pm.

The Women in London's Economy Conference, now in it's fourth year, highlights the important contribution women make to the capital's economy. It serves as the launch for the Women in London's Economy report and identifies the crucial measures needed to tackle the discrimination faced by women and eliminate the barriers preventing them from participating fully in London's economic life.

The 2008 conference will feature three sessions each focused around a different theme from the main findings of the report:
· GLA Economics and the gender pay gap in London
· Implementation and effectiveness of pay audits
·The progress of legislative reform, particularly the Discrimination Law Review, procurement issues and positive action.

The Mayor of London, Ken Livingstone, will open the Conference and there will be a number of senior speakers across the three sessions, including Harriet Harman MP, Sandra Fredman, Professor of Law, Oxford University; Diane Abbott MP, Caroline Waters, BT; Valerie Todd, TfL and Sarah Churchman, PricewaterhouseCoopers.
