Australian Women in New York (AWNY) is hosting an event during New York Tech Week, designed to spotlight and connect Australian women shaping the future of tech in the United States.

On Friday, June 5, AWNY will bring together founders, operators, investors, and emerging leaders for a dynamic morning at the American Australian Association. This free event is designed to inspire, educate and connect attendees, while creating meaningful conversations around building businesses, careers, and communities across borders. 

The program will comprise three sessions. Guests are invited to attend one session or stay for the full morning, with refreshments available from 9:00am and between each session. Registration is required via this link.

9:15AM – 10AM | Sanctum Movement Experience

The event will open with a powerful reset: a Sanctum movement experience led by founder Luuk Melisse. Blending music, strength, and mindfulness, the immersive session sets the tone for the day, with the opportunity to trial a new form of health tech, first hand.

10:15AM – 11AM | Panel: Launching Aussie Tech in the United States

From there, the program shifts into conversation. The first panel brings together founders and operators who have successfully navigated the leap across markets. Speakers will share candid insights into the realities of entering the United States, from adapting go-to-market strategies to understanding cultural nuances, fundraising differences, and the importance of building early networks.

11:15AM – 12PM |  Panel: Aussie Women in Tech – The Long Game

The second panel will offer a deeper perspective on sustaining and growing a career in the United States tech ecosystem. Featuring women who have spent many years building their presence, the discussion explores resilience, reinvention, leadership, and navigating bias and will deliver an honest look beyond the highlight reel.
