Project Cambridge are delighted to support the We Are GLOBAL Women🌍 International Men’s Day Conference 2025 - Powered by Anglia Ruskin University
We've heard from the Global Women, now let's hear from the Global Men!!
After the incredible success of our inaugural We Are GLOBAL Women🌍 Conference in June, which welcomed 156 delegates, we are thrilled to announce the next event in our series:
We're proud to host this event as part of the We Are GLOBAL Women🌍 network – a space built for both women and men to come together, share perspectives, and shape a more sustainable, inclusive future.
📍 ARU Cambridge Campus
🗓️ Tuesday 18th November | 09:30 – 13:30 (Networking Lunch to follow)
This time, we’re coming together to celebrate Unity, Health, Wellbeing & Sustainability – because progress belongs to us all.
The programme includes:
✅ A powerful keynote "What Makes a Man" on modern masculinity, mental health, and allyship from Dr Helena Kim, PhD (Judge Business School) & Jason Mellad (Health Tech Entrepreneur and Founder).
✅ Sustainability & Legacy Panel "Changing The World" Chaired by Professor Aled Jones, Director of ARU’s Global Sustainability Institute
✅ And the highlight – our Equity Exchange Unity Debate: “Strength Lies in Collaboration, Not Competition” where 3 men and 3 women will face off, before flipping perspectives mid-way to challenge assumptions and build understanding.
⚖️ "This House believes that men are punished for removing the mask of masculinity – but emotional vulnerability is their greatest act of strength."
✅ Mental Health & Resilience Panel with Andy’s Man Club.
✅ Health Without Stigma – Changing the Conversation on Dementia for Everyone with Edye Hoffmann, FRSA, Founder of Dementia Compass Ltd
We’ll also be spotlighting the fantastic work of ARU's Men's Network, and the new ARU Business Clinic and showcasing inspiring projects from across our community.

We're experienced in making major live events happen. If you need someone to be a roving mic, a front of house or a runner, or maybe something else, we can help!

When it comes to events, no job is too big or small. We've looked after international athletes, celebrities, media, got our hands dirty setting up and breaking down globally televised events and were privileged to have worked behind the scenes at the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II.
We Deliver Workshops, Too!
Hosted live, as a hybrid event in person and digitally, our retrofit workshops are available to be delivered to start-ups, programmes, accelerators, groups and students.
Whether you're a small team who want to know how to build a hiring strategy and want to know how to "Hire Yourself" or you're a bigger team who want to know "How To Get The Best Out of a Recruiter", we have just the workshops for you.
You might even have faced the difficult decision to make some of your team redundant, but want to help them by providing a 'Careers Workshop'.
We've also led careers workshops for students aged 11 - 18 both in person and digitally.
"With over a decade of recruitment experience in Cambridge’s Scientific and High-Tech sectors, Jen Richardson has supported organisations ranging from early-stage start-ups to global enterprises. She brings a wealth of knowledge and a passion for connecting people, offering practical hiring advice, and championing sustainability, environmental awareness, and inclusivity within the Cambridge ecosystem".
"Closing down our Cambridge Operations was not a decision that came easily to us. Bringing in Jen to help our current team revamp their CVs, Linkedin profiles and signpost them to some suitable opportunities was so valuable. The insights and advice Jen was able to pass on helped so many of the team in the next steps of their careers."
Project Cambridge Exclusive Workshop
We were invited by the prestigious Impulse Programme to host a workshop for Impulse Alumni and associates.
With over a decade of recruitment experience in Cambridge’s Scientific and High-Tech sectors, Jen Richardson has supported organisations ranging from early-stage start-ups to global enterprises. She brings a wealth of knowledge and a passion for connecting people, offering practical hiring advice, and championing sustainability, environmental awareness, and inclusivity within the Cambridge ecosystem.
Jen delivered a 90-minute workshop on: “How To Build & Grow A Team”
- You've identified a need for your first key hire – now here's how to ensure you hire someone who embraces your culture, values and ethos
- What’s in it for them? All about the Employee Value Proposition (EVP)
- Tools & resources – how to advertise and screen candidates yourself, or how to get the best out of a recruiter when you're on a tight budget
- The interview process – everything to consider
We opened up the conversation for alumni to share their own team-building experiences – what’s worked, what hasn’t, and what they’ve learned along the way. This was an interactive, participative session, rich with practical advice and real-world insight. Everyone walked away with useful tips and found it extremely useful.
