WOMEN IN MEDIA
Inspirational women are all around us, leading, innovating and mentoring the next generation of the industry and B&T recognises this at its annual Women in Media Awards each year.
Running for the fourth consecutive year, 2016 will see the addition of a Women in Media Forum to be held during the day while the evening will see the return of the Women in Media Awards recognizing the exceptional women who have achieved success in their professional arenas.
These are judged by a panel of top female executives and the Awards night celebrates their invaluable contribution to their industry through their leadership, innovation and courage.
We will also announce B&T’s Power List, recognizing the 30 most influential women in the Australian mediascape, as voted by our judges and B&T’s extensive editorial board.
Women in Media provides new business opportunities, network expansion, as well as a chance to learn from some of the most empowering and inspiring women in the industry.
WOMEN IN MEDIA FORUM
Date: 19th August 2016
Time: 9:30am – 3:00pm
The inaugural Women in Media Forum is a natural extension to B&T’s Women in Media Awards.
It offers attendees the chance to take part in speed mentoring with female powerhouses from across the marketing, media and advertising industry and up-close exposure to highly successful, inspiring women.
In the spirit of collaboration, there will also be a hackathon element to the day with attendees split into groups to come up with three actionable ideas to meet challenges facing women in the industry.
Every woman (and perhaps the odd man) should walk away with at least one step they can take immediately to contribute to the promotion of women in media.
United, we can change the industry for the better.
