This year’s International Women in Engineering Day (INWED) celebrates the theme together we engineer - a powerful reminder of the vital contributions women engineers make every day across the globe. From shaping sustainable solutions to strengthening communities, their work supports lives and livelihoods worldwide. By honouring their achievements, we renew our commitment to building a more inclusive, innovative and equitable engineering profession for everyone.

Professional Engineer of the Year Jillian Formentin, joins WA's 2025 Young Australian of the Year Jack Anderson, for a conversation filled with motivational exchanges, practical advice, and reflections on the collective responsibility to shape a better future. Engineers ‘make life happen’ 

Join us for this special evening for a candid conversation between two, as they reflect on what "making a difference" means to both of them and how they hope their work will inspire future generations.

The January 2023 event (Australia’s largest ever instrumented flood) impacted Martuwarra (Fitzroy River), including Fitzroy Crossing town and surrounding communities. The talk unpacks how geomorphology and floodplain process zones can be used to inform floodplain management, including; using palaeoflood evidence to inform 2023 event magnitude, how one third of the river has bank erosion rates that exceed the development setback, and using post-event nano-satellites to map depositional zones.
