Since then, we have expanded to Asia where FIGA host several events throughout the year from our offices in Hong Kong and Singapore.

FIG typically runs 3 events each year in RPC's London office. Previous sessions have included talks from inspiring female leaders such as Mary McLeod MP and Ann Godbehere, and soft skills session on such topics as how to develop successful mentoring relationships and influencing style. All sessions include time for networking before and after the presentation.
