About the

WIC Summit

Now in its second year, the 2020 edition of the Women in Construction Summit seeks to raise awareness and drive positive change. It will explore how regional construction firms can equalise working environments and recruitment practices, and how best to retain and attract fresh talent.

There will also be a focus on fostering links with academic institutions to improve the industry’s appeal to the young – creating curriculums to inspire construction careers.
