EVENT OVERVIEW
Since 2012, our Women in Leadership events have been instrumental in championing inclusivity and driving meaningful change across industries. Building on this legacy, we are thrilled to launch our Women in Tech Summit, taking place on 16-17 October in Eora | Sydney.
The disruptions in the tech sector, from budget constraints to rapid AI advancements, present unique leadership challenges. According to the 2021 Digital Pulse Report, women make up just 29% of the tech workforce, highlighting the need for diversity at all levels for better business outcomes.
Join us this October to discover the latest in attracting and retaining diverse talent, building high-performing teams, and driving innovation for a more inclusive tech future. Empower yourself with insights from Australia’s top tech innovators and industry leaders who are breaking down barriers and redefining leadership.
