Join us on the 8th March - International Women's Day - for one of our headline events with Monzo. We'll be hosting a live Q&A session with members from the bank, and we're excited to learn a lot in this 1 hour event.
We'll be joined by 2-3 experts from the Monzo team who are coming to talk to the Ada's List Community specifically around the International Women's Day theme of #ChooseToChallenge.

There will be the opportunity for Ada's List members to submit questions to the Monzo experts ahead of time - in the weeks leading up to this interactive webinar. The Q&A session will see our Monzo panel answering questions from our Ada's List community and then opening the floor in the last 15-20 mins for a live Q&A with the session attendees.
So, come prepared with any questions you might have for Monzo - a company who have continued to challenge their own industry by pushing the boundaries of FinTech - from prioritising staff and customer mental wellbeing, to asking the government to force banks to let customers block all gambling transactions.
We'll be talking about what #ChooseToChallenge means to our panelists in terms of both work and personal lives - come and be a part of the conversation.

We'll also be featuring a blog series alongside this event, running in the week leading up to this Q&A session. We have a series of questions from Monzo who will be interviewing our Ada's List members asking them questions which fall into the #ChooseToChallenge theme. We'd love to get our Ada's List members involved and feature your answer on our website.
This is a really great opportunity for yourself/your business to be featured over our community and social media channels, which have a combined reach of over 20K followers.
As always, taking part is on a first come, first serve basis. If you'd like to be a part of the interview blog with Monzo, which will be released, the week before the webinar on the 8th, email me at nicole@adalist.co for more info.
