| Networking in the lovely surrounds of Jacques Reymond | ||
Women are I.T. networking lunches are held every few months at premium restaurants in Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth and Sydney. We have a guest speaker and generally the event is scheduled to finish at 5pm to encourage networking to continue throughout the afternoon. The charge for this is what is sufficient to cover costs.
