Empowering Voices, Inspiring Leaders!

Join us for an 8th year of inspiration!

Join us at the Women in Leadership Summit 2024 in Sydney as we celebrate the remarkable achievements of women leaders throughout Australia. This summit is your opportunity to confront and overcome the challenges that persist in today’s workplace. We are dedicated to inspiring and equipping women to lead with confidence, purpose, and authenticity.

 

The State of Leadership

Women have made significant strides in leadership roles, yet biases and harassment persist.

In Australia, women occupy nearly 50% of entry-level positions but only 22.3% of CEO roles and 35.1% of key management positions. This stark “drop to the top” highlights the need for continued efforts to support women’s advancement in leadership roles.

Let’s also not forget, there are only 12 women CEOs in the ASX top 200…There are currently more men named ‘Andrew’ leading the ASX 200 than there are women!

 

OUR OBJECTIVE

At this summit, you’ll engage with pioneering leaders, advocates, and trailblazers who will share their experiences and strategies for navigating and excelling in leadership roles.

 

Program Highlights:

  • Inspirational Keynotes: Gain valuable insights from trailblazing women leaders who have broken barriers and built legacies in their fields.
  • Interactive Workshops and Panels: Participate in sessions that offer practical strategies and tools to overcome challenges and foster inclusivity in your workplace.
  • Networking Opportunities: Connect with peers and influential leaders dedicated to advancing gender equality and women’s leadership.

 

Our mission is to equip you with the knowledge and inspiration to drive meaningful change. By developing your leadership skills and resilience, we aim to create a legacy of impactful leadership that benefits all sectors of society.
