April 24, 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Queensland Rural Regional and Remote Women\u2019s Network (QRRRWN) has issued a call for presenters at their Annual Conference, which is being held in Emerald on October 19-21.<\/p>\n

QRRRWN opened Expressions of Interest for this year’s event on Monday.<\/p>\n

The theme of the 2017 conference is “Building Vibrant Communities: Developing Future Gems”, and QRRRWN President Alison Mobbs said she is excited about uncovering new and developing talent to showcase alongside experienced speakers.<\/p>\n

“What is special about our QRRRWN platform is the opportunities we provide to inspire participants and build their abilities and networks,” Alison said.<\/p>\n

“In my years of involvement with QRRRWN I have seen many younger women realise their capabilities by listening to experienced female leaders who inspire them.<\/p>\n

“With the encouragement and support of QRRRWN members and associates, they then go on to grow that potential into impressive contributions and leadership in their own fields.”<\/p>\n

Ms Mobbs said the Emerald Committee welcomes interest from both experienced and emerging business, producers, creators, professional women and community workers who are keen to share their passions.<\/p>\n

QRRRWN is seeking three kinds of presenters.<\/strong><\/p>\n

They are especially keen to hear from potential keynote speakers who can deliver to plenary sessions or breakfast or dinner functions for up to 40 minutes.<\/p>\n

Often keynote speakers also offer workshops, which in turn enables the conference to offer a variety of workshops across its business, personal development and youth streams.<\/p>\n

Previous conferences have included workshops over topics as diverse as belly dancing, cheese making, drawing, public speaking, business planning, digital marketing, grant writing, agriculture and politics.<\/p>\n

QRRRWN aims for a mix of serious and more light-hearted workshops, so it provides opportunities for emerging presenters to deliver to small groups, too.<\/p>\n

The third category they’re seeking are spotlight speakers, who give 10-15 minute main stage presentations.<\/p>\n

Here QRRRWN aims to introduce local inspirational women or projects.<\/p>\n

“We know there is an incredible array of hidden gems in our regional communities, and we’d love to string some of these together to make our conference sparkle,” Alison said.<\/p>\n

“We also want to hear from women based in cities who have ideas and initiatives to share – being based is the suburbs is definitely not a barrier to participation.”<\/p>\n

Women who plan to attend the Emerald conference are also welcome to nominate a speaker or workshop presenter they’d like to see on the program by emailing suggestions with contact details to conference@qrrrwn.org.au<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n
