2019, leading entrepreneurs shared
insider tips and life advice.
Technology is an essential part of our everyday
world, but there’s still a gender imbalance in the
tech industry. Vogue Codes aims to empower
women to be creators of the digital future. “Our
hope is that a successful career in technology
will be something future generations won’t think
twice about,” saysVogueAustralia editor-in-chief
Edwina McCann. This year, thanks to presenting
partner Westpac and supporting partners Audi
Australia and Estée Lauder,VogueCodes returned
to Sydney and Melbourne and expanded to
Adelaide and Brisbane for a series of events, all
with the express purpose of inspiring women and
girls to join the #voguecodes movement.
VOGUE CODES Summit
An impressive line-up of speakers and panellists,
including designer Karen Walker, Shama Sukul
Lee of Sunfed and Atlassian’s Mairead O’Donovan,
were on hand at the summits in Melbourne and
Sydney to encourage women to pursue careers in
tech-related industries.
