Join us on Tuesday 18 July for a very special Female Founders event in collaboration with Canberra Indigenous Business Network (CIBN). Over lunch provided by The Goods Wholefoods, hear from CIBN members as they share their experiences in business in a fireside chat. The panel will explore the importance of diverse contributions to all industries, ways to break down biases, and how to best support Aboriginal-owned businesses.
