The Women in Media National Conference 2025 is set to take over ICC Sydney on Friday, August 15, and if you work in media, communications or the creative industries, it’s one date you’ll want firmly in your calendar.
Whether you're a storyteller, strategist, creative, broadcaster, producer or journalist, this is your chance to join a vibrant, cross-industry gathering of professionals for a full day of connection, career development and compelling conversation.
Women in Media is connected to so many rare and wonderful speakers – not your usual run-of-the-mill conference speaker circuit – you’ll be wowed, informed, surprised and delighted by the sheer variety and impressiveness of what you come to hear.
Here's a glimpse of what awaits you at this unmissable event.
1. The people
This is a community like no other. Women - and allies - who are deeply committed to you and your career. Whether you’re just starting out or already leading at the top, this is your network. Everyone shows up with openness, generosity, and the shared desire to lift each other up. You will be seen, supported and inspired.
“A brilliant chance to connect with talented women across the industry and career stages.”
2. The full spectrum of media, in one room
This isn’t siloed. Journalists meet comms people. Creatives connect with strategists. Public sector meets private. You’ll meet people you wouldn’t otherwise cross paths with – and that’s where the magic happens. It’s how new projects start, partnerships form, and ideas grow.
“The breadth of issues and energy, and excitement was evident with all the participants. The content encompassed a wide range of media and creative industries and appealed to women of all ages and experience.”
3. The professional development you deserve
This is space to pause, reflect and refuel. Time to step away from the pressure and invest in your growth. If you lead a team, it’s a rare opportunity to offer meaningful professional development at a fraction of the cost of most industry events. Everyone leaves with sharper tools and higher morale.
“Making new connections, refreshing old ones and learning new skills. I enjoyed hearing women from different sections of the industry and hearing their experiences.”
4. The speakers, talent and ideas
From national media leaders and change-makers to skills-based workshops and exclusive keynotes, the calibre of speakers is unmatched. This is where fresh thinking happens. The content is curated to move your mind and feed your career. You’ll leave with insights you can use the very next day.
“The day was jam-packed with very high-quality talks.”
5. It’s priced to include you
We know what big events cost – but this one is different. We work hard to keep it accessible, with the support of volunteers and a community that gives back. This is high-impact development without the high-end price tag.
“Women in Media worked very hard to bring us a stellar and affordable event. What were the takeaways? For me, the opportunity to mix with like minds, gain motivation, feel validated, and find clarity on the future. Thank you.”
You’ll return to your work re-energised, reconnected, and ready to take bold steps forward. We look forward to welcoming you to the Women in Media National Conference 2025. Tickets are selling fast – grab yours today!
