We’re thrilled to share the resounding success of the recent launch event with our community in Melbourne, on September 19, 2023.
It was a remarkable gathering that unveiled extraordinary perspectives on global action and women leaders with a STEMM background. Attendees at the Science Gallery Theatre, and those that joined us via the live stream, where provided with a renewed sense of purpose and an understanding of the critical role that women’s leadership plays in shaping our future.
The atmosphere was a testament to the power of women driving change in leadership roles in all industries, not only in traditionally male-dominated fields. The event underscored the importance of unity, collaboration, and resilience in the face of formidable challenges.
