The UK’s Best Awareness Days Inspirational Speakers
At Great British Speakers, we’re here to help make your event successful. Using our awareness days calendar, you can easily plan ahead to ensure you secure the best speaker for your day. Our corporate events calendar is also here to inspire you on ways to help motivate your audience and/or employees this year.
Some of the biggest events on the Awareness Days calendar include International Women’s Day (March 8th) and Black History Month (October). Both have become pivotal for raising awareness of EDI concerns within society and the workplace.
We also focus on the importance of Mental Health, with World Mental Health Day (10th October) and Mental Health Awareness Week (12th – 18th May 2025), as well as International Men’s Day (November 19th), which is a powerful reminder for men to take care of their own health and mental well-being.
The calendar below includes all these and many more occasions. However, we know there are many more important awareness days than those we’ve listed, so we will continue to update our events calendar as often as possible to provide you with the latest event news and the best topical speakers on the circuit.

International Women in Engineering Day
June 23, 2023
An event every year that begins at 12:00 am on day 23 of June, repeating indefinitely
Why Celebrate International Women in Engineering Day?
As of 2024, women make up approximately 15.7% of the engineering workforce in the UK, a slight decline from 16.5% in 2022. This represents a setback in efforts to increase gender diversity in the field. The drop is particularly concerning given that many women, especially those aged 35 to 44, are leaving the profession, often due to work-life balance challenges, lack of career progression, and an unsupportive work environment. (stats: wes.org.uk/ engineers.scot)
International Women in Engineering Day began in the UK in 2014 and is celebrated on June 23rd every year. The occasion aims to promote their achievements, highlight the importance of a diverse workforce, and encourage the next generation of women into STEM careers. In combination with the Women’s Engineering Society, International Women in Engineering Day seeks to unite government, education, and corporate engineering institutions to raise the profile of engineering as an exciting career choice for women.
