Event detail

The Sunshine Coast Building Women Luncheon, proudly partnered by Spire Law, is an inspiring event designed to celebrate and empower women in the building industry.  Enjoy a delicious two-course meal while engaging with a panel of knowledgeable and passionate women who are leaders in the field. The panelists will share their unique insights, experiences, and expertise on navigating and thriving in the building and construction industry, providing valuable advice and inspiration to both aspiring and established professionals. Supported by partners including HIA's Women in trade mentoring program, this event promises to be an excellent opportunity for networking, learning, and fostering a community of women supporting women in a traditionally male-dominated sector.
