Business empowerment, leadership and career advancement for emerging and established leaders

The Women in Construction, Engineering and Infrastructure Leadership Summit returns this June to an in-person experience with a fresh and diverse speaker line up and more interactive sessions. 
 
It’s no secret that gender diversity makes workplaces stronger – so how can we lead the change in building inclusive workplaces that benefit everyone in the industry?  
 
Join us at the Women in Construction, Engineering & Infrastructure Leadership Summit to gain practical advice from Australia’s most influential senior executives within these industries on:  
 
  • Fostering an inclusive, safe and diverse work environment to attract, nurture and retain diverse and skilled talent 
  • Increasing influence within your organisation and industry by developing your executive toolkit and driving the change towards inclusion yourself   
  • Creating mutually beneficial mentoring relationships that assist in the professional and personal development of both mentor and mentee 
 
Come along for the in-person experience and connect with like-minded leaders to expand your presence, network and influence in a male dominated (but evolving) industry.
