AUSTRALIA'S PREMIER WOMEN IN CONSTRUCTION SUMMIT EVENT RETURNS!

EMPOWER, INSPIRE, BUILD: WOMEN ELEVATING CONSTRUCTION THROUGH KNOWLEDGE, SKILL & LEADERSHIP

“I was blown away by the inspiring women who have paved the way, making a such a difference within the construction industry.”

Melissa Kalemis, Workforce Development Manager, DT Infrastructure (past attendee)

After an incredible event last year, Australia’s foremost gathering of women in construction returns with exciting new speakers, all new content, engaging new formats, and more opportunities to meet and connect with peers than ever before.

This year’s event features a renewed focus on real life examples of how people and organisations have successfully driven diversity, featuring a wide range of inspirational speakers, including c-suite executives, managers and leaders in trade roles.

You'll also gain the technical knowledge, in-demand skills, and leadership strategies you need to move your career and your organisation forward, all in a welcoming environment that promotes diversity, equity and inclusion in construction.

“Very valuable for all women in all stages of their construction careers.”
