Perth – International Women’s Day 2027

Join us in Perth on Monday, 8 March 2027, the actual day of International Women’s Day, for ALGA’s International Women’s Day Breakfast Series.

Held at The Melbourne Hotel, this inspiring morning will bring together professionals from across the Land & Groundwater sector and beyond to hear from a diverse group of speakers who will share their experiences, lessons, challenges and insights.

The program will feature a keynote presentation followed by a panel discussion over a plated breakfast, with opportunities for audience questions and deep conversation.

This event is designed to be more than a celebration. It is an opportunity to explore leadership, resilience, confidence, career growth and personal development through stories and perspectives that resonate across industries. Attendees will leave with practical ideas and inspiration they can apply in their professional and personal lives.

The event is open to everyone. We welcome women, men and gender-diverse people from across the industry and beyond to join the conversation. Whether you attend individually or book a table with colleagues, clients or friends, you will be part of a welcoming and engaging conversation that encourages connection, reflection and action.

Networking opportunities will be available before and after the program.

More speaker announcements and program details coming soon.
