The Brief:

For the past eight years, The Leadership Institute has hosted the Women in Leadership Summit, inviting female leaders from across Australia to come together for inspiration and empowerment.

For the first time, in 2024 the summit travelled to Melbourne, to deliver a variety of exclusive keynote sessions, engaging panel discussions, and interactive Q&A segments, all aiming to provide attendees with actionable insights to advance their leadership journeys.

The Collaboration:

As a returning acta client, The Leadership Institute's CEO, Dana Lightbody, knew exactly where to source and book exceptional speakers for her highly regarded summits.

Within 10 days of sending her first enquiry, actress Pia Miranda was contracted, as well as barrister and author Gina Liano following shortly after.

As expected, the leadup to the event was seamless! acta streamlined communication between The Leadership Institute and the various talent management teams, whilst also ensuring that all documentation was centralised within one dashboard.

acta's innovative approach to talent booking allowed us to secure remarkable keynote speakers with ease and efficiency. - Dana Lightbody (CEO, The Leadership Institute)

The Outcome:

The summit's Melbourne debut was an overwhelming success! Over two dynamic days at Marvel Stadium, more than 300 attendees came together to hear from over 15 inspiring women in leadership roles, empowering them on their own paths to leadership.

Being my first time using acta, it took me a little while to get the hang of things, however once I did, I it was any easy process. I particularly appreciated being able to deal directly with the client from the very beginning. - Henrie Stride (Director & Talent Management, Henrie Stride Management)
