Across Australia, Australasian Institute of Mining & Metallurgy (AusIMM) sees the return of its International Women’s Day (IWD) Event Series in 2025.

The Event Series celebrates women in mining at celebratory networking lunches held across Australia from February 27–March 14.

Now in its seventh year, AusIMM’s IWD Event Series is Australia’s largest mining-related event that celebrates the outstanding contributions of women in the resources sector.

The 2025 Event Series is expected to attract 3,000 attendees nationally, supported by new events in the regional cities of Kalgoorlie, Western Australia and Hunter Valley, New South Wales.

AusIMM’s event theme ‘Driving positive change together’ signifies the power and importance of coming together to break down barriers and champion for diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in resources.

In 2025, the Series Ambassadors, a group of remarkable women from signature partner organisations BHP, Newmont, Rio Tinto, Weir and Whitehaven Coal, will collaborate to shape conversations on actions to drive positive change across the sector.

The celebratory lunches feature inspiring keynote speakers or an industry panel and offer attendees a delicious two-course lunch and networking with industry professionals in the following locations.
