On 19 September, we hosted the Women in Manufacturing Dinner, an evening dedicated to celebrating the achievements, challenges, and future of women in the manufacturing industry.

The event brings together women who are innovators, leaders, and emerging talents in manufacturing for an evening of connection, insight, and inspiration.

Keynote Speaker Erika Hughes, the 2023 Victorian Woman Manufacturer of the Year, inspired us at the Dinner.
