Inspire, empower, diversify and define the future leaders of Australia’s mining & resources industry

The Women in Mining & Resources Leadership Summit, hosted in partnership with the Minerals Council of Australia, is coming to Perth from 27-29 August 2019. Designed specifically for women working within the mining and resources industry, this event has been created to inspire, empower, diversify and define current and future leaders to unlock economic potential and ensure future workforce security for companies operating in this sector.  
 
Because only 16% of the current industry workforce is female, opportunities to expand diversity and inclusion are emerging as a top solution for mining and resources companies trying to lift productivity on volatile profit margins and future-proof their operations. Raising female economic participation by 25% would add as much as $7.5 trillion to the global GDP and diversified teams have proven to outperform a company average in growth and profitability by as much as 15%.   
 
Discover the business value of diversity and inclusion, meet formal and informal mentors, be inspired, expand your network, empower your colleagues, and share your stories to benefit the training and development of rising stars in the industry through interactive engagement at the Women in Mining & Resources Leadership Summit. 
 
Reserve your seat now to be a part of this crucial industry event and save with our early bird rates! 
 
Minerals Council of Australia and the Women Leaders Institute are pleased to welcome the Stars Foundation as the official event charity partner, 10% of event proceeds will be donated to support and enable Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander girls and young women to make active choices towards realising their full potential.
