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.

Hello all,

Just over two weeks to go now until our first-ever Mumsnet WorkFest event which will take place at BAFTA in central London. The exciting news is that we've recently confirmed that Dragons' Den star James Caan will be headlining the day. James will be lining up alongside a whole range of fabulous speakers including Elle Magazine's Lorraine Candy, JustineMumsnet, and entrepreneur and MasterChef winner, Thomasina Miers.

Still not booked your ticket for this must-attend event? There are still a few places available so book now!

Hi all,

I'm sorry it's a tricky time of year for some of you ? we may well change the date for next year and run the event in March. Would this be better?

Also, we really hope to do WorkFest outside of London next year and maybe even sooner. In fact, we are already looking into this possibility.

As for the price, we have tried to keep this down but, of course, hosting it in a lovely venue with everything provided costs money. We really hope that those attending find it good value though.

So pleased to hear that you would be keen for us to host something in the North West. Which city would you suggest?

@starkadder

Why not do a series of webinars on the same theme for those who can't make it?

Hi starkadder, we are going to be creating some digital content on the day that will be hosted on Mumsnet after the event. Also, as I said in a previous post, we are definitely looking to do WorkFest in other places around the country and will keep you posted!

Best,

Patrick

@Bebimama

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.
