Are you thinking about returning to work ? either after maternity leave or from a longer career break? Maybe you?re already juggling work and home life, but have a burning desire to change your job or the way you work? Or perhaps 2013 is the year you plan to take the plunge and set up your own business?

If any (or all!) of these apply to you, then check out Mumsnet Workfest, our inspiring one-day conference dedicated to all things career-related, on Saturday 15th June at BAFTA in central London.

In a jam-packed day, you?ll hear from a range of inspirational female business leaders including Lorraine Candy (Editor of Elle Magazine), The FT's Mrs Moneypenny and PR guru, Lynne Franks, who?ll address everything from taking the plunge and starting up on your own, to polishing your CV, boosting your confidence and working flexibly.

There'll be a chance to pick the brains of our experts for bespoke advice in our one-to-one career clinics ? and you'll meet other working parents, as well as entrepreneurs and potential employers.

You'll leave feeling inspired, positive and ? crucially ? armed with the info and skills you need to return to work, change paths, or set out on your own. Oh, and you'll get the chance to and win some terrific prizes from our headline sponsor, Barclays, as well as a Honda CR-V!

Click here to find out more about this must-attend event and tell us what you think. Also, if you hurry, you can book your ticket now at the discounted early-bird price of £75.

I would love to go. I live in London, I'm trying to be a Social Mumpreneur but I can't afford it even if it is value for money, if you haven't got the money, you haven't got the money. Makes me feel it is not for people like me then, I'm not the right demographic.
Maybe you could hold some local smaller ones, use schools, shopping centres?

Hi Bebima,

Thanks for getting in touch. We are already starting to think about the very thing you highlight and promise to let you know when we have more details in place. For now though, please think about entering the competition to win a free place for the event on 15 June.

Thanks. I've entered. Never won anything before but you never know.

Moominsarehippos · 03/06/2013 17:54

I can't because my blackberry keeps crashing out on me!

Thanks for putting on a draw MNHQ. I think I have transferable skills, but transferable to what is the question.

How about hosting one in Liverpool and getting the Women's Organisation involved?
