About the Event

Over the past few years, we have experienced an ever-growing and sustained cultural shift to hybrid working environments. With organisations interacting more frequently online than in person, it’s important for leaders to fine tune their soft skills, break down professional barriers and adopt a more personable approach to managing diverse teams and dynamic workplaces.To lead the discussion, we are delighted to be joined by Dr Andrea Douglas, Head, Strategic Industry Engagement at CSL.Following Andrea’s keynote address, Caroline Ryan, Partner at Allens, will open a panel discussion with our 2022 Women in Leadership Awardees, Dr Emma Ball, George Kenley and Associate Professor Lauren Ayton.We are launching the 2023 BioMelbourne Network Women in Leadership Awards and officially opening nominations at this event.
