Event detail

Join us for an event that leaves you feeling part of a strong and vibrant community - a community that brings together the future leaders and innovators of the Australian Building and construction industry, no matter your gender.

HIA’s Building Women events are powered by the collective efforts of everyone in our industry. And this inspiring gathering isn't just for women; it's for leaders, builders, business owners, and change-makers like you, who believe in strength through diversity.

Whether you're looking to support the women in your organisation or want to make lasting changes in the industry, your attendance is a powerful statement – it shows that you stand for equality and believe in fostering an environment where everyone has the chance to thrive.

So don’t watch from the sidelines, come along and let’s truly support women in our industry in 2024.

Connect, learn and inspire.
