Women in Mining & Resources Leadership Summit

The Women in Mining & Resources Leadership Summit, hosted in partnership with the Minerals Council of Australia, returns to Perth.

The 2021 Summit will bring together the industry’s inspiring thought leaders to dive into key attention areas to enhance female leadership and participation within the mining and resources sector. Discover emerging tools and techniques to effectively champion change within the industry to cultivate a workforce built on respect, diversity, health and solidarity.

Despite the ongoing increase of women within the mining and resources sector, there remains a significant gap to achieve a fully diverse workforce operating at its maximum productivity levels. Join us this year, as we reaffirm our commitment to diversity in leadership through attracting and nurturing high-potential talent.

For the last eight years, the Women Leaders Institute has consistently delivered a high-impact leadership conference for emerging and established women leaders to be inspired, connect and grow in a safe space. Join the community and find out more at womenleadersinstitute.org.
