2024 GIWA Breakfast

Tickets are now on sale for the 2024 GIWA Breakfast which is held in conjunction with the GRDC Grains Research Update, Perth and is proudly sponsored by AEGIC.

Strengthening equality, diversity and inclusion within the grains industry and in particular encouraging women into the fields of science and R&D not only enables organisations to reach their full potential but will help deliver the innovation the world needs to meet the most significant challenges we face today.

In recognition and celebration of the United Nations International Day of Women and Girls in Science (11 February) GIWA and AEGIC are celebrating women in science and R&D in Australian agriculture and the grain industry at the event.

Join us for this thought leadership breakfast session with the best of the best.

Guests will enjoy a video presentation from Jessica Wade, a physicist and Research Fellow at the Blackett Laboratory of Imperial College in London. Jessica is a multiple award-winner including a British Empire Medal for services to gender diversity in science and has been creating Wikipedia profiles for overlooked women scientists since 2017. 

Following the presentation AEGIC’s Executive General Manager Courtney Draper will host a panel of highly respected industry leaders to discuss the topic of equality, diversity and inclusion within the grains industry.

• Dr. Larisa Cato, AEGIC Wheat Quality Technical Markets Manager
• Heather Brayford, DPIRD Director General
• Ben Macnamara, CBH CEO
• Prof. Sharon K. Parker, Ambassador for Women and Mentor, Researcher, Author and Public Speaker
