Around the world, mis/disinformation are shaping opinions with troubling effects on news reporting, voting behaviour, and democracies more broadly.

Earlier this year, Meta announced it would drop fact-checking altogether, drawing international criticism – including from Australia. With several elections just around the corner, concerns over mis/disinformation, and how governments, news outlets, and social media platforms will manage these, are more pressing than ever.

Join Women in Media and IPAA ACT for a panel discussion and networking session at the National Press Club. Dr Nici Sweaney, founder of AI Her Way, Michelle Ainsworth, Skills and Knowledge Lead at the ABC and Churchill Trust Fellow, and Kate Driver, CEO of IPAA ACT, will discuss ground-breaking research on how international media organisations are exposing political misinformation, trust as a foundation of an enduring public sector, and the misuse artificial intelligence as a new challenge for democracy.

In addition to the panel discussion, there will be drinks, canapes, and an opportunity to connect with industry peers.

Join us to celebrate 20 years of Women in Media!

Twenty years ago, a group of Perth women gathered for the first Women in Media event, sharing stories, ideas, and a vision for a more connected industry. That night, Women in Media (WiM) was born.

Since then, WiM has grown into a national network of more than 6,400 women, spanning journalism, communications, marketing, film, broadcasting, PR, publishing, and beyond. While we’ve expanded, our purpose remains the same- helping women connect, learn, and contribute across all facets of the media.

Join us for a special night of celebration, conversation, and connection.

We’re gathering at The Globe - Lounge to mark this milestone, welcome old friends and new, and reflect on how far we’ve come.

To honour the occasion, we’re re rolling back the clock with tickets at the original 2005 price - just $25. Numbers are capped, so book now to secure your spot.

Speakers: WiM Founder Victoria Laurie + more to be announced
