It's great for women to build contacts in an informal environment. It can help your career based on the fact it's a networking opportunity outside the normal work environment. Sometimes it's not what you know, but whom you know.

There's certainly a trend of women being in higher workplace positions. Women feel they will miss the boat if they can't compete in corporate days. Therefore they mix with the clients and partners they aspire to.
