Learning Together Across Generations
Thursday 12 March, 18:30 – 21:30

Tired of the same old “confidence and communication” International Women’s Day events? This evening’s discussion on Women’s Career Transitions Through Every Life Stage will be different. We will walk through women’s career journeys from first role to boardroom, learning from expert speakers and crowdsourcing real-world wisdom from the room. Three cross-cutting themes anchor the conversation: career focus, health considerations, and family decisions. Each speaker will connect their topic to every life stage, so you can see what is coming next and how to navigate key choices with clarity. The format is purposefully interactive. You will be pre-allocated to mixed-generation tables for facilitated discussion and intimate conversations. Expect lively, structured discussions, practical tips, and generous sharing. Come to connect deeply, find solutions, and leave with a clearer path forward.
