Women in A/AA Adelaide Summit 2025

First time in Adelaide! Join us at the Women in Aviation/Aerospace Australia for a full-day Summit, Tuesday 26 August at Adelaide Town Hall.

Women in A/AA has proudly delivered Summits across Australia for more than 10 years, bringing together leaders and change-makers across the aviation, aerospace, and space sectors to discuss the challenges and opportunities for the industry. We invite you to join us and bring your team to broaden your network, and take meaningful insights and key learnings back to your organisation.

The WA/AA Adelaide Summit 2025 will bring together aviation and aerospace professionals to address the industry's progress in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Moving beyond discussions, this summit will focus on real actions and tangible strategies that organizations can implement to foster a more inclusive industry. Through expert panels, case studies, and interactive sessions, attendees will explore how to transition from commitment to execution, ensuring lasting change in workplace culture, leadership, and workforce development.

For 20+ years, Ellie has led organisations through transformational change. Formerly the live-in caretaker at Tamarama surf club (yes, from the Dulux ads), a national lifesaving medallist and one of the first female professional lifeguards and jet ski rescue operators in Victoria, Ellie shares leadership stories from the surf zone through to the corporate boardroom, drawing upon her experiences across industry. An experienced coach and facilitator, Ellie’s leadership experience translates across disciplines as she creates a space for participants to share their own stories and contribute to their shared leadership journey. First exposed as a client to Leading Teams 15 years ago, Ellie has since worked with executive leadership teams in defence, government, transport, mining, infrastructure, construction, education, health, retail, NFP, disability services, training, and sport to help them achieve their maximum potential.
