The girledworld Leadership Summit is the 2017 flagship event of female-founded startup <A HREF="http://www.girledworld.com/events/" TARGET="_blank" TITLE="girledworld SUMMIT 2017" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">GIRLEDWORLD</A>.
Proudly supported by the Australian Federal Government and opened by Hon. Kelly Dwyer MP, Hon. Philip Dalidakis of the Victorian Government, LaunchVic CEO Kate Cornick and StartUpVic CEO Georgia Beattie, this Australia-first event will be held at the University of Melbourne's Wade Institute of Entrepreneurship.
The girledworld Summit will be an exceptional opportunity for girls in Years 7 to 12 in Australian secondary schools to immerse in skill-building leadership workshops, hear incredible, transformative stories of startup success and career advice from some wildly inspiring and extraordinary female mentors, and experience first-hand the 21st century innovations and enterprise skillsets that will define the future workplaces they will inhabit. 
On top of this there'll be powerful public speaking programs (think TED for girls), collaborative and interactive Design Thinking, teamwork and prototype workshops, mentor-led expert experiential learning opportunities, deep dives into STEM, coding, virtual reality and the world of tech, keynotes from rockstar global female leaders and homegrown startup founders (Airbnb, IBM, Frank Body, LaunchVic, Atlassian, Girl Geek Academy, The Hacker Exchange, Adore Beauty, TOM Organic, AirWallex, Mumtaza, StartupVic, Melbourne Accelerator Program, Foundation for Young Australians + many more amazing mentors), plus a chance to learn world-class business practices and enterprise skillsets our audience can bring back to their school everyday and plug and play. 
This is about better learning, better outcomes, and building girls up so they can better shape their futures. 
Because at girledworld we know all too well the challenges the next generation will face in a shifting world of work. 
Exponential technologies, automation, digital disruption and the erosion of traditional 'safe' jobs are moving quicker than the school system is capable of responding, and STEM continues to spearhead the future of work and life as we know it. The fact is, if you don't keep up, you'll be left behind. 
So the girledworld Summit specifically addresses the urgent need to upskill, educate and equip secondary school aged girls with transferrable skillsets in creativity, leadership, problem-solving, digital literacy and STEM. This will ensure they are world-ready, idea-fuelled, confident and connected to an incredible community of mentors who can help them navigate their future career pathways.

WE TEACH GIRLS TO LEAD - OUR COMMITMENT TO LEADERSHIP
We know that the world needs more female leaders. You don't have to look far to see the <A HREF="http://money.cnn.com/2016/02/08/pf/women-corporate-leadership/" TARGET="_blank" TITLE="Stunning Lack of Women in Corporate Leadership Roles Worldwide" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">evidence</A>.
But we also know that leadership can be taught if we give girls a chance to learn the skills they need to shine.
Girls can't be what they can't see, so by giving them access to outstanding female role models, unpacking the invisible barriers and biases that prevent them from stepping up to lead, and equipping them with enterprise skillsets in STEM, leadership and innovation, we can help them start to identify their strengths and make more informed choices about their tertiary and career pathways.
Join us to help build the next generation of female leaders, founders and STEM champions.
