Women in Architecture (WIA) Australia

Another great Enterprise Architecture event! It was great to connect with the Sydney community and meet so many Women in Architecture (WIA) Australia! Enterprise Architecture is such a fascinating career, but the path to it isn’t always clear. Events like this help more people see the opportunities it offers. Excited to co-host more events like this in the future! 😊 https://lnkd.in/gPkVScji

Mark the 11th of December in your diaries for a very special event being held in many of our captial cities in Australia. Along with our many volunteers, we are holding othe very first networking drinks and nibbles in Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney from 5:30pm to 7:30pm. You will have an opportunity to meet your fellow architects to celebrate our success in 2024 and hear about what to look forward to in 2025. From distinguised speakers such as the CIO of the Ipswich City Council, to panel discussions with accomplished architects, we have much to look forward to at every venue. The fact we will all be physically together at the same time to talk about 'Women in Architecture', is an acomplishment we are looking forward to. We have an amazing line up of sponsors at each event as well who have generously donated their time and dollars to support Women in Architecture. There is a special Christmas gift for everyone from our sponsors with great merchindise and special discounts to build your skills in the New Year. Just a reminder, that the Women in Architecture (Australia) group is for women and men who recognise that we need to do more to increase diversity across our teams and to attract more women to careers as architects. YOU MUST register for this event as spaces are limited, so hurry up and get in quickly. You will find the links to all the events below.

Only one sleep to go and eagerly awaiting this event. There is still time to register and come along for this exciting fireside chat with Wendie Lee. It didn't take long for me to be inspired by Wendie when I first encountered her a few years ago. Her stories of challenges and success and the stripes she has earnt along the way, was something I have been determined to share with others. Which is why I am so excited that WIA (Australia) can bring us together for this event.

It’s been a while since I posted anything here. I came across this video on Facebook and have to share it with you. https://lnkd.in/dvKYCCMC Hope you can access it.
