The people helping us create more access, more opportunity and better conversations.

SheChain Live was never going to be built by one organisation.

It takes businesses willing to share expertise. Organisations prepared to open doors. People who believe that talented women should have greater access to the opportunities, knowledge and connections that help businesses grow. Our partners aren’t here simply to put their logo on something.

They’re helping make it happen.

From powering our stages and sharing expertise to creating spaces for conversation, opening up supply chains and helping women’s voices be heard, each brings something different to the room. That’s exactly the point.

The capability is there. The ambition is there. The access isn’t always.

Women own around a third of privately owned businesses worldwide. Yet women-owned businesses receive less than 1% of large corporate and government supplier spend.

WEConnect International is working to change that. Its global network connects women-owned businesses with qualified buyers, helping them become more visible, compete for opportunities and access corporate and global supply chains. Today that network includes 22,000 women-owned businesses across 140+ markets, alongside more than 180 member buyers with $4 trillion in purchasing power. That’s why WEConnect International belongs at SheChain Live.

UK & Ireland Country Manager Jaxx Nelson will also lead Inside the Buyer’s Mind, putting buyers in the hotseat and getting straight to the questions suppliers really want answered.

Because women don’t need more encouragement to start businesses. They need a fairer shot at the business that’s already out there.

Being heard starts with having the confidence – and the opportunity – to use your voice.

ITV’s commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion goes beyond who we see on screen. It’s about creating opportunities, widening representation and helping more voices, experiences and perspectives be heard across the industry.

That’s something we believe in too. At SheChain Live, ITV is bringing that commitment into the room with Confidence on Camera, three small-group sessions led by Lucy West, Head of ITV News Granada Reports and double BAFTA winner.

Just 30 people in each session. Practical advice. Real expertise. Because whether you’re talking to a camera, pitching your business or putting yourself forward as an expert, your voice matters.

Setting the stage for better conversations.

Our stages need to feel less like a conference and more like somewhere people can have a proper conversation. That’s where Barons comes in. Based in Lancashire, Barons has more than 50 years’ experience creating and manufacturing contract furniture in the UK.

As our Furniture Partner, they’re furnishing the SheChain Live stages – helping us create relaxed spaces for the conversations, panels and stories happening throughout the day.

Because sometimes the best way to get beyond the corporate answers is to sit down and talk.

What if you understood how the buyer thinks before you tried to sell to them?

The Pro Club brings procurement thinking out of the corporate procurement department and puts it into the hands of business owners and commercial leaders. Its partnership with SheChain Live is about helping more women-led businesses understand how supplier decisions are really made, where opportunities are lost and how to position themselves more strongly for contracts.

Founder Mick Ramsden MCIPS will lead The Buyer Decision Blueprint, taking businesses inside the psychology of procurement and showing why capability alone isn’t always enough. Less guessing what buyers want. More understanding how they buy.
