April 18, 2013 Panel: Invisible Women - Tara Moss, Nikki Gemmel, and Brooke Magnanti (Chair: Rebecca Huntley) (AAW)
A recent survey of media coverage of the US Election showed that over 70% of print stories were written by men and less than 20% percent of coverage was of women, making women almost invisible at the highest levels in public life and in the media. But are there advantages to invisibility? If anonymity comes with the freedom to do and say what you want, does this mean that the power that comes with visibility isn't all that it is cracked up to be?
Join our panel of authors Tara Moss, Nikki Gemmel, and Brooke Magnanti (Chaired by Rebecca Huntley).

April 18, 2013 Panel: How to Lead - Maria Atkinson, Julie White (Chair: Judith Whelan) (AAW)
The mystique of 'leadership' is such that it has become the Holy Grail for anyone trying to understand why organisations succeed or fail. But being a leader is not something where there are a series of clear instructions to follow. Because it brings together the personal and the professional, finding out how to lead can be harder to explain but more satisfying than any of the other challenges that work or home throws up.
