The Empowering Women – an International Women’s Day event will benefit the entire Queensland Region. It is an opportunity for women and men to come together and celebrate the amazing women we have in our region. In 2020 the GEA International women’s day attracted 174 attendees, this year we are going “BIGGER!” 

The International Women’s Day event is a 2 course  sit down luncheon held at the GECC, attracting approximately 250 to 300 attendees. The event will run from 11:00am to 2:30 pm and include 2 keynote speakers and a panel discussion. Panelists will discuss their real-life experiences as women in leadership and non-traditional roles in industry on how they have overcome challenges throughout their career.

** A GEA initiative - “CQUnicares Gladstone Engineering Alliance Scholarship”.  A portion of proceeds raised from the International Women’s Day event will go to a female student for study in the STEMS sector.
