Partner with us for our 2025 Future of Women in Western Sydney Summit on International Women’s Day.

What is working, what isn’t and what needs to happen.

The Future of Women in Western Sydney Summit addresses future development of Western Sydney and highlights the need for equity and opportunities for women.

Listen and learn from female leaders who have been instrumental in the development of Western Sydney and meet the next generation of change makers.

How can we ensure women are considered when planning for Western Sydney’s future?
