Shepparton will host the Women Economic Forum, an international event for female leaders, in November. State Member for Shepparton District, who spoke at the 2024 event in Melbourne, invited the organisation to consider Shepparton and regional Victoria in the 2025 program. She said it was a wonderful opportunity to showcase our region to the world.

“I am always a strong believer in showcasing our region more broadly which creates exposure and opportunity,” said O’Keeffe. “Last year’s forum had over 200 women attend from all backgrounds and walks of life including international participants.
“While we are still working through the finer details of the launch in November it will be jam packed with inspiring speakers and a well thought out program.”
Further details will be announced over the early stages of 2025.
