The Australian Women’s Weekly AGL Women of the Future Awards are a celebration of inspiring young women who are making a difference.
Now in its sixth year, the competition encourages young women aged between 18 and 34 with a great business idea, charity or creative venture to enter.
On Wednesday, the nominees are joined by an inspiring panel of judges at Sydney’s Quay. This year’s panel includes Julie Bishop, Ita Buttrose, Lisa Wilkinson and The Australian Women’s Weekly Editor-in-chief Nicole Byers.
The event’s MC Virginia Trioli will lead the celebrations, which include an address from Julie Bishop, and a Q&A with Dame Quentin Bryce.
If that wasn’t enough, the event is also attended by a plethora of Australian women who are leading the way in their field, including journalists Lisa Wilkinson and Georgie Gardner who reunited at the event.
