Global Mining Review,
AusIMM, the peak body for resources professionals, is proud to announce the return of its acclaimed International Women’s Day (IWD) Event Series in 2025. The Event Series celebrates women in mining at celebratory networking lunches held across Australia from 27 February to 14 March.
Now in its seventh year, AusIMM’s IWD Event Series is Australia’s largest mining-related event that celebrates the outstanding contributions of women in the resources sector. The 2025 Event Series is expected to attract 3000 attendees nationally, supported by new events in the regional cities of Kalgoorlie, Western Australia, and Hunter Valley, NSW.
AusIMM’s event theme ‘Driving positive change together’ signifies the power and importance of coming together to breaking down barriers and championing for diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in resources. In 2025, our Series Ambassadors, a group of remarkable women from Signature Partner organisations BHP, Newmont, Rio Tinto, Weir and Whitehaven Coal, will collaborate to shape conversations on actions to drive positive change across the sector.
The celebratory lunches feature inspiring keynote speakers or an industry panel and offer attendees a delicious two-course lunch and networking with industry professionals.
