Motherhood changes the way we see ourselves, our careers and our ambitions. Whether you’re navigating life with young children, returning to work, building a business or simply trying to balance it all, a new London summit is aiming to help mothers turn challenge into opportunity.

Taking place on Friday 19 June 2026, Motherhood Works is the inaugural event from AllBright, in partnership with Bupa. Hosted at The Orchard, One Great Cumberland Place, the one-day summit brings together inspiring speakers, practical advice and meaningful conversations designed to help women thrive through every stage of motherhood.

Here are five reasons why this could be one of the most empowering events in London this summer.

1. It’s Reframing the Motherhood Conversation

Too often, discussions around motherhood focus on what’s lost. Motherhood Works takes a different approach.

The summit explores how becoming a mother can unlock new confidence, sharpen priorities and redefine success in positive ways. Through expert-led conversations and workshops, attendees will discover how to turn the so-called “motherhood penalty” into motherhood power.

2. Hear From Some Truly Inspiring Speakers

The event features an impressive line-up of women who have built successful careers while navigating the realities of motherhood.

Speakers include BBC presenter Dr Smitha Mundasad, Motherkind founder and bestselling author Zoe Blaskey, and internationally renowned make-up artist and entrepreneur Ruby Hammer MBE. Their insights promise to be both inspiring and refreshingly honest.

3. Gain Practical Career and Life Advice

This isn’t a day of motivational speeches with little substance.

Expect interactive sessions, expert panels and thought-provoking discussions focused on redesigning success, managing identity shifts, building confidence and creating a career that works for your life right now. Attendees should leave with practical ideas they can apply immediately.

4. Connect With Like-Minded Women

One of the biggest benefits of attending live events is the opportunity to meet people who understand your experiences.

Motherhood Works includes networking opportunities throughout the day, from morning refreshments to a networking lunch and evening drinks reception. It’s an ideal setting to share ideas, build relationships and expand your support network.

5. Every Ticket Supports an Important Charity

Tickets are priced at just £50 and include access to the full day’s programme, refreshments, networking lunch and evening drinks reception.

Even better, £10 from every ticket sold will be donated to charity partner The Motherless Mothers, helping support women experiencing motherhood without their own mothers to turn to.
