listen to an inspiring Keynote speech
interact with a lively panel of trades gurus

HIGHLIGHTS:
First, get hands-on and try different trades in our 'Give it a Go' segment. Try your hand at some fun tradie skills and talk with experienced people (and tradeswomen!) from across the trades. You'll learn about career paths, training and job opportunities.
After some delicious kai (free!), we'll hear from a Keynote Speaker. A tradeswoman working on the tools will share her journey and insights. An interactive panel discussion about the ins and outs and unique challenges for women of the tradie life follows this.
Last year, Timaru Girls High school students attended our Christchurch event, leaving inspired and motivated. According to their teacher, Jo Shaw:
"The girls loved the experience... Your panel of tradeswomen was awesome too!!"
