The Athena Network — the UK’s No.1 women-only networking organisation — is growing! With newly arrived and experienced Regional Directors launching groups across the country, exciting new opportunities are opening up for women in business to connect, collaborate, and grow.
Athena is built on three core values: training, support, and collaboration. We deliver all of this through structured online meetings, informal networking events, and our exclusive PASS+ benefit, which gives members access to visit any group where their profession is not already represented.
All of this is included in one annual membership fee. No hidden costs. Just real value.
Attending the launch of an Athena group
Here are just a few reasons why you’ll want to jump at the opportunity to attend the launch of a new Athena group in your area:
✅ Secure your profession’s exclusive seat
Each group allows only one woman per profession. Attending the launch gives you the opportunity to apply and secure your seat before anyone else.
✅ Experience Athena’s unique energy and structure
Get a true feel for how our meetings work, how women support each other, and what sets Athena apart from any other network.
✅ Meet ambitious, supportive women in your area
Connect with like-minded women who take their businesses seriously — and are genuinely committed to helping others grow too.
✅ Get business training you can apply right away
Launch events often include one of our high-value training modules, so you leave with fresh insights and practical strategies to support your success.
✅ Promote your business in a fresh market
Introduce yourself and your business to a brand new audience of professional women looking for trusted suppliers and collaborations.
✅ Leave with a delegate list for future connection
Keep the momentum going post-event with contact details for everyone you meet — making it easy to continue the conversations and build onward networking relationships.
✅ Shape a brand new group as a founding member
Founding Members help set the tone and culture of a new group — a rare chance to influence and help build a supportive local network from the ground up.
✅ Access Athena groups across the UK — and beyond
Understand our PASS+ benefit. As a member, you can visit other Athena groups online (where your profession is open), giving you national — and international — reach. We have a vibrant group in Singapore!
✅ Gain visibility, confidence, and collaboration
Athena is designed to raise your profile, refine your message, and surround you with women who will champion your growth.
✅ Decide if this inspiring network is right for you
Try before you join. Soak in the atmosphere, ask your questions, and see if Athena feels like the supportive professional community you’ve been looking for.
If you’re ready to join a powerful, professional, and collaborative community of women in business, come along to an Athena launch event near you. Check out our Group Launches events page for details, or send us a message via our contacts page for more information about groups near you.
We’d love to welcome you.
