The Institute of Managers and Leaders has supported the global International Women’s Day (IWD) initiative since 1998 and in 2018 are delighted to announce our IWD Great Debate bigger and better than before!
Designed to celebrate the importance of gender diversity in the workplace and throughout society, this year our esteemed debaters will debate the topic
‘The Future is Female.’ Equality . Diversity . Progress
Each event is a long-lunch style debate starting at midday and finishing at 2:30pm. The debates themselves see six hand-picked, interesting and opinionated Australian leaders debating each other with our equally interesting and witty MC’s including Gretel Killeen (Sydney), Corinne Grant (Brisbane) and Jane Caro (Melbourne) on hand to keep things clean, fun and on-topic on the day.
We will also be hosting IWD events in Toowoomba and Sunshine Coast, although these will not be in a debate setting, it is a great chance for people in these regions from all sectors to come together for a social, enlightening and inspirational lunch.
