Alongside this, Elin has surmounted various extreme challenges, including rowing across the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, and sailing across the Pacific and the Atlantic Oceans, whilst raising awareness about rare childhood disorders and the need to develop new drugs.

Why This Event Matters:

Most of the SCL WiTL group’s events are hosted as lunchtime webinars, however, there are many benefits to connecting in person, even if only occasionally.  The group has, therefore, committed to providing one in person event each year to help foster these connections between the many brilliant women in our space.

We are particularly delighted that Elin, who is a very engaging speaker, has agreed to join us for what promises to be an inspirational and enlightening evening.
