Dine against the backdrop of one of Sydney’s most striking locations and be empowered by the company you keep and the people you will meet.
This event was willed into existence when attendees of the Women in Finance Summit asked us for more opportunities to network with like-minded individuals. We listened and tailored an environment for forging partnerships and strengthening existing bonds with the brightest minds in finance.
At this singular event, camaraderie and connectivity take centrestage. But this event isn’t just about networking; it’s a growing movement of dedicated professionals who aspire to lead and champion transformative change in finance. Each year, we invite a keynote speaker whose lived experiences promise to fuel this movement.
This year, that speaker is none other than two times world champion and four times Commonwealth champion Jana Pittman.
Jana’s achievements as an athlete are infamous. When continual injuries spelled retirement, she moved boldly from the track to the ice to become the first Australian female to compete in both the Summer and Winter Olympic games. Today, Jana is an obstetrics and gynaecology registrar, an ambassador for the Australian Cervical Cancer Foundation, and a mother of six. Her exclusive keynote address promises to both resonate and inspire.
We hope you can join us for this premium event on Friday, 2 May in Sydney.
This event will sell out fast, so don’t miss your chance to be part of this growing community.
