It’s a testament to the summit’s growing success and impact,”
“This year’s summit agenda reflects the full breadth of what it means to be building something that matters right now – and in the future – including AI, neuroscience, entrepreneurship, leadership, the changing workplace and women’s health.
“But what happens on stage is only part of the story of the Forbes Australia Women’s Summit. The conversations and connections that happen in the room are an important and valuable part of the day, changing the way attendees view their business and personal lives.”
