Challenging perceptions of female cyclists in the media

This panel will focus on the media’s role in shaping our perception of female cyclists as well as the media’s role in challenging held perceptions. Our panelist will discuss the changing tides, progress that has been made and the issues that remain to be challenged.

The Women@Beryl network will host its inaugural International Women’s Day series to celebrate this year’s theme #ChooseToChallenge – raise awareness against bias and take action for equality in cycling and micromobility.

A series of panel discussions will run online from 8-11 March and will include thought-provoking discussions from an amazing lineup of women who are leading the way in business, the media, tech and micromobility.

Over the four day event, attendees will be able to join five sessions each focusing on a different theme.

Landor LINKS, is excited to be partnering with the Women @ Beryl network to host these events.
