WE’RE COMING TO MELBOURNE!
After eight remarkable years in Sydney, the Women in Leadership Summit is thrilled to make its debut in Melbourne for its 9th edition!
This year is more than a new location; it’s a renewed commitment to challenging the status quo, spurred by the sobering findings of the Global Gender Gap Report 2023, which underlines the pressing need to address the decline in women’s leadership roles.
OUR RESPONSE? ACTION, EMPOWERMENT, AND RELENTLESS PURSUIT OF CHANGE.
We’re not just merely continuing our journey; we’re amplifying it. Research has consistently shown the positive impact of having more women in leadership roles; the compelling fact that reinforces our mission. Our purpose is to transform statistics into tales of achievement and challenges into opportunities for growth.
Fuel the Momentum!
Join us at the Women in Leadership Summit 2024, a dynamic platform for connection, inspiration, and empowerment.
This summit is not just about discussing change; it’s an active force in creating it. Tailored for both emerging leaders and established executives, the summit features a range of exclusive keynote sessions, engaging panel discussions, and interactive Q&A segments, all designed to provide actionable insights for your leadership journey.
With a lineup of distinguished speakers from Australia and around the globe, each session is a fountain of knowledge and inspiration. Immerse yourself in the wisdom of trailblazing women from diverse backgrounds who have overcome challenges, shattered barriers, and crafted legacies. Gain invaluable insights from these pioneers who share not only their successes but also the obstacles and lessons learned along the way.
Seize this unique opportunity to network with professionals and be part of a community driving the future of leadership. Whether you are advancing in your career or steering organisational change, this summit serves as the catalyst for your personal and professional development.
