For the 16th-year running, the event showcases the depth of talent and array of expertise contained among women in the Illawarra.
The day is about sharing and recognising the success of women across industries and sectors, from those who have just made the leap into running their own business, to the long-standing titans of industry.
While every award has only one winner (apart from a few highly commended), the event also pays testament to the network of supporters and mentors who enabled each winner to succeed.
