2019-05-30 12:00 - 14:00 (Australia/Brisbane) | The Ivy Ballroom, 320 George Street, Sydney, NSW, 2000, Australia
What will it take to continue advancing women in law over the next 100 years?
In 2018, NSW celebrated a significant milestone – 100 years of women practising law.
We acknowledge that the industry has seen significant change and movement but there are still opportunities to innovate and challenge traditional thinking. This journey continues as we look to the future from year 101.
At this inaugural event, we will bring together a panel of high profile women in the Australian legal industry to take part in a forward-focused conversation discussing the challenges, opportunities and their vision for the next 100 years. In particular, the panel will explore:

What do we expect from our industry and the next generation of leaders (both male and female) to ensure progression?
What needs to change to allow the next phase to progress in a constructive and considered way?
What are the systems, processes and structures that need to be established or reinvented over the next five years?
How will we hold ourselves accountable for leading this change?

This will be the legal industry diversity event of the year.

Flexible Working Day
2019-05-22
Flexible working requires flexible mindsets and flexible work styles. It is about people working in ways that allow them to achieve their best and for employers to reap the rewards. Making the most of employees means supporting innovative and diverse work arrangements – from the night owl starting and finishing late, job-sharing and part-time work, to name a few.
Over the past 50 years, there have been significant changes in technology, our family structures, communication, recreation, entertainment and job roles – and this is going to continue to rapidly evolve. But work structures – hours, location, and work practices – have not kept pace. Now is the time for working flexibly to align with the rest of the changes in society.
Join the national conversation via social media. #FWDay2019 #FlexWorkFullLife #GenderFlexGap #TackleFlexism
