Pullman Sydney Hyde Park

More women are entering the professional services than ever before and now make up 47% of the legal profession and 49% of the accounting profession. Unfortunately, this equality does not extend to senior leadership where women continue to hold a minority of partnership or senior executive positions.

International Mining and Resources Conference (IMARC)

The International Mining and Resources Conference (IMARC) creates a mining event for Australia as a major stop on the global mining events calendar.

IMARC is Australia’s only truly international mining event. Uniting the entire mining industry, IMARC is where mining leaders, policy makers, financiers, technical experts, innovators and educators are brought together under one roof.

Women In Energy and Resources Leadership Summit 2014

The Energy and Resources sector is largely male dominated with women making up less than 20% of the workforce. While there has been some progression in recent years, challenges and barriers still exist making it difficult for women to achieve senior leadership positions. Women who advance into leadership and senior executive positions in energy and resources organisations often do so in relative isolation.

The Women In Energy and Resources Leadership Summit 2014 provides an outstanding line-up of female leaders from a variety organisations. They will share their insights and experiences providing practical advice on how to address the common challenges faced by women in this environment. The summit is ideal for women currently in executive positions, and those looking to advance into leadership positions in the near future.

Light, Energy and the Environment Congress

2 - 5 December 2014, Australian National University

The Energy Change Institute (ECI) is proud to host the OSA "Light, Energy and the Environment Congress" on optical technologies for use in energy and the environment. 

This comprehensive Congress, organised by the Optical Society (OSA), examines the frontiers in the development of optical technologies for energy production, transport, and use. It also examines the use of optical and photonic approaches to monitor energy usage and the effects energy production has on the environment. It is designed to bring together researchers, engineers, and managers and foster timely information exchange between several of the disciplines involved in energy production usage, cost and environmental and efficiency management.

Energy Change Institute (ECI)

The ECI aims to provide authoritative leadership in Energy Change research and education through a broad portfolio ranging from science and engineering of energy generation and energy efficiency, to energy regulations, economics, sociology and policy.
