Women in Quantitative Finance: Career Progression, Challenges & Leadership

Thursday 25th June 2026 | 6:00pm - 8:30pm GMT

Eventspace at Salisbury House, 114 London Wall, London, EC2M 5QD

Why attend?

Quantitative finance sits at the centre of innovation across financial services, from model development and systematic trading to data-driven investment strategies. Demand for technical talent continues to grow across investment banks, hedge funds, and fintech firms, yet representation across the sector remains uneven.

For many women entering or progressing within quantitative roles, there are distinct challenges at different career stages, from transitioning out of academia and building early experience, to balancing long-term career development with leadership ambitions and life events.

This event brings these experiences together in one discussion.
