Incredible exhibitors

644 graduate employers have exhibited with us at one of our in-person London events since 2018. These fantastic companies exhibited to promote their internships, placements, and graduate roles to our attendees. Many of our London exhibitors have returned year on year.

Some of the exhibitors who have joined us over the years include:

London is our flagship event and was the location for our first ever STEM Women Graduate Careers Event! We are incredibly proud of the community we have built, the events we have held, and the women who have discovered careers in STEM through attending.

Hear from our Director Stephen Rooney about what our London events mean to STEM Women:

“We are so proud to have had the trust and support of London’s student community and it’s graduate employers. Our exhibitors have returned every year, enabling us to run three or four events a year in London. And our student community is second to none, with attendances growing year on year. Our London events typically involve our entire team and they are always the highlight of a UK event season”.

Some of our London events include opportunities for employers to deliver insight talks to the audience to promote their company, and to sit on a panel discussion to discuss important topics for women in STEM. These talks are chaired by our Events & Marketing Director Sophie Chadwick, who has hosted over 120 events to date, and over 90 panel discussions. Ask your account manager which London events offer these opportunities if you are interested.

Countless women have discovered new careers at our events and many leave feeling inspired having chatted to employers at their stands. Crucially, many have since gone on to apply for and secure roles with our exhibitors.

We have met many women who attended our event as a student and then returned as a company representative the following year! It’s great to see them inspire the next generation of talented women.

451 talented attendees arrived the QEII centre for our summer 2025 event, where they met with 28 graduate employers. This event provided an opportunity for companies to deliver employer talks in the impressive purpose built theatre. This is an ideal way for companies to introduce themselves to a wide audience, and the students really enjoying hearing from people working in industry.

 

“It’s a really good opportunity to showcase how women in your organisation work, and what its been really like. The students love hearing from somebody’s real experience. It’s not an HR thing, it’s about actually demonstrating that this could be them in a couple of years time.” – Julia Daffy, Early Careers Manager at NatWest Markets
