Jessica Montague brings more than 15 years’ experience across Australia’s leading media and publishing brands. Formerly Deputy Editor of Vogue Australia and Deputy Editor of Stellar, she has built a distinguished career shaping influential editorial platforms across fashion, lifestyle and news.
This engaging panel will bring together women leaders from across business, finance, strategy and social impact to share their insights and experiences on what it means to balance the scales — particularly for women and families facing disadvantage.
We’d love to see you there as we come together to listen, learn and stand alongside women — on International Women’s Day and beyond.
