Everything you need to manage your Annual Dinner sponsorship in one place: key dates, tickets and tables, logo and content submission, and answers to common questions.
The CEW Annual Dinners are made possible by the generosity of our Corporate Partners and Annual Dinner Sponsors. This support ensures CEW can continue its work to advance women’s leadership, accelerate gender equity, and create a more equitable Australia.
As CEW’s flagship fundraising event, the Annual Dinner series brings together an audience of C-suite leaders and decision makers from a wide range of Australia’s ASX300 companies, along with senior politicians, CEW members, and the wider CEW community.
Each celebratory evening provides meaningful networking in a black-tie setting, while supporting the CEW Scholarship Program, helping build the pipeline of executive-ready women leaders in Australia. All guests have the opportunity to further contribute to these initiatives, and win amazing prizes, through auctions and raffles.
