Sun 08 Mar 2015

For the third year in a row, the All About Women event returns to Sydney Opera House this March.

8th March is International Women's day, and is celebrated around the world as a day to reflect on progress made in women's issues, and to recognise and celebrate women achievers. It also presents a wonderful opportunity to reach out, network, unite, and connect with the community across each city and the globe.



Highlights on this year's speaker lineup are Roxane Gay, bringing her 2014 essay collection Bad Feminist; Anita Sarkeesian, with Gamergate And Beyond, where she explores the representation of women in pop culture and video games; and panel discussion 'Can Men's role change?', among many others.



Emerging from the success of the previous 2 years, most of the sessions have sold out already. However, some of the ones mentioned below may still have limited availability. You can also purchase multipack tickets when you attend more than 3 sessions, and receive a discount.
