AusIMM's International Women's Day Event Series returns

Each event will feature a different keynote speaker with this year's International Women's Day theme, ‘Break the Bias', to drive conversations.

The first event will kick off tomorrow in Brisbane with futurist and STEM expert Dr Jenine Beekhuyzen OAM.

On Monday, executive leader and indigenous empowerment/diversity and inclusion advocate Shirley Chowdhary will speak in Sydney on Monday, followed by AFLW pioneer and gender equity advocate Chyloe Kurdas in Melbourne on Tuesday.

The series then travels to Adelaide on Thursday, where Paralympic gold medallist, global self-mastery and whole leadership strategist Katrina Webb OAM will speak.

The final event in Perth will be headlined by dual Olympic gold medallist, former Hockeyroos captain and current Fortescue Metals Group, Sandfire Resources and Liontown Resources director Jenn Morris.

The Perth event was due to be held next Friday, March 11, but has been postponed due to level 2 COVID-19 restrictions.

"As the peak body for people in resources, AusIMM wants to continue discussing real and meaningful ways all resources professionals can help create environments that respect, value and celebrate difference," AusIMM CEO Stephen Durkin said.

"Championing and supporting women in mining is an imperative for the resources sector, and one of the most powerful ways our industry can provide enduring benefit to the communities we serve.

"Women's participation, leadership and professional advancement are critical to our industry's continued success. We are committed to creating and maintaining safe, respectful environments across all levels of the industry."

AusIMM expects more than 1600 people to attend the luncheons.
