The Reach Next Generation Summits

THE REACH NEXT GENERATION SUMMIT LONDON

The Reach Next Generation summits
will return on tour again in 2024

Across Modern-Day Society, young girl’s face many challenges and opportunities unique to other generations. Whether across social media or in-person with friends, they are faced with an abundance of information which can lead to daunting and difficult decision making.

With this in mind, the Reach Next Generation Summits have been designed to advise, inform and empower – so attendees have the skills they need to successfully navigate their teen years.

 “These unique summits gives us the perfect opportunity to do just that and some of our successful Reach females are excited about the prospect of giving back!”

We have staged 7 amazing and empowering Reach Next Generation Summits since June 2021.

We have been to London, Manchester, Middlesbrough Birmingham, Sheffield and most recently The Etihad Stadium

About the summits

Our unique format sees all the girls sit in a summit style circle so they all have a front row seat.


We run a series of short sessions – between 12 and 15 throughout the day and the girls can contribute to the topics as much as they like.


We have a mix of sessions – some are interactive, some involve participation and some are designed to demonstrate that “if I can do it- you can do it.”


They talk about their ambitions and hopes for their careers as they think about their future.


They hear from and talk with women who have a story to tell. Leaders in Sport, Fashion, Music, Business, Charities, Nutrition, Human Rights and Social Media all there to create conversations and provide thought leadership.

They openly discuss their thoughts, concerns and ambitions in a completely “safe space.”
