Equip. Elevate. Empower!
Women In Media’s third national conference at Bond University on Queensland’s Gold Coast.
Every year our conference has sold out and sent Twitter into a spin!
This year, we’re back with our two-day conference aimed at giving women in the media a range of valuable tools and inspiring information sessions – as well as having plenty of fun!
The sessions range from practical tips on negotiating contracts, pay rises and promotions to exciting trends in the digital landscape and the future of journalism.
There will be inspirational sessions from successful women in media as well as workshops on podcasts and mobile journalism, advice on managing up, networking, up-skilling and remaining relevant in a world of new media.
