HOME GIRLS UNITE
Rethinking Success, Age, and the Myth of Being Behind.

IN COLLABORATION WITH OXFORD BROOKES UNIVERSITY
John Henry Brookes Building, Headington Campus, Gipsy Ln, Oxford OX3 0BP, United Kingdom
About the Partnership
Bigger Ideas Conference™ is a gathering built around the belief that bigger ideas can create brighter futures. Through honest conversations, lived experiences, and meaningful connections, we create intentional spaces where women can learn from one another, challenge the timelines and expectations placed upon them, and leave with greater confidence to pursue what comes next.
For our first international conference, Bigger Ideas Conference™ is proud to partner with Home Girls Unite, a community-led organization committed to creating spaces of belonging, opportunity, and empowerment for women and girls. Together, we are bringing our communities, experiences, and shared values to Oxford for There Is No Right Time: Rethinking Success, Age, and the Myth of Being Behind.
This partnership is about more than bringing people into a room. It is about what becomes possible when women intentionally create opportunity for other women. Through inspiring conversations, intergenerational perspectives, and genuine connection, we hope to create a day that reminds women there is no single timeline for success, education, ambition, or becoming who they want to be.
And we want the impact to extend beyond the conference itself. Funds raised through the event will support the bursary for women in STEM, in collaboration with Oxford Brookes University, with a particular focus on mature students and women who may otherwise face financial barriers to continuing their education.
So when you join us in Oxford, you are not simply attending a conference. You are helping another woman take her next step, too.
Different paths. Shared possibility. Bigger ideas. Brighter futures.
Speakers
More speakers to be announced soon.
About Home Girls Unite

The Bigger Idea Conference (BIC) is a life-changing event for women looking to make connections and to step into a bigger version of themselves. For BIPOC women, this is a space to feel seen and visible without downplaying your authentic self. I left the conference feeling uplifted, inspired, motivated, and encouraged to go after my bigger ideas and dreams.
