Celebrating Women in International Business

As proud sponsors of the Women In International Business category at this year's 30th WA Industry & Export Awards , the Department of Foreign Affairs & Trade (WA) invites you to a celebration of women in our state making their mark in global business. 
In keeping with the awards' 30th Anniversary, we will reflect on the last three decades; how far we have come and what still needs to be done for the success of the next generation of business women. Our guest speaker Tracey Horton AO, will share insights from her own journey and a panel of past WA award winners will discuss their experiences during a Q&A discussion.
