The 2007 EOWA Intimate Conversation event was held in Melbourne on Thursday, 19 July.

Time: 5.30pm - 8.00pm
 Venue: Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Office
Address: Queen Victoria Building, 180 Lonsdale St Melbourne VIC
Cost: $95.00 per person 

On the evening the panel comprised Ms Christine Bartlett, Australian CEO of Jones Lang LaSalle, Mr Russell Caplan, CEO of The Shell Company Australia and Mr Ahmed Fahour, Australian CEO of National Australia Bank. Facilitating the panel was Jenny Brockie, the award-winning journalist and documentary maker with more than 20 years of experience in broadcasting.

The EOWA Intimate Conversation event , which began in 2002, consists of an “up close and personal” forum where CEOs speak about their assessments of the important issues for women in the workplace and the obstacles facing them. They talk openly and honestly about the issues they have faced in driving EEO. Over 100 people from a diverse range of industries and professions attended the event in 2006, the highest number achieved.

Last year's audience benefitted from the learnings of the below CEOs:

  • Karen Chester, Access Economics

  • Michael Hawker, Insurance Australia Group (IAG)

  • Giam Swiegers, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu

Facilitating the forum was Helen Trinca, editor of Financial Review BOSS.
