3rd Annual Women & Leadership in Mining

One of the biggest gathering of women in SA mining

Women owned, training and conferencing company, Pinpoint Stewards will be hosting the 3rd Annual Women & Leadership in Mining conference. The annual conference aims to highlight women leaders in Mining across South Africa. Taking place on 28 & 29 August 2024, NH Collection Hotel, Sandton (previously Hilton).

Each year new leaders across the mining sector are introduced to speak and inspire others, ensuring women at all levels of the mine are recognised for their efforts and progress in the mining sector.  Now more than ever, laws, proposed white papers and internal policies are making it easier for women to not only picture a career in mining but to exceed and they are seizing the opportunities.  This positive movement is echoed in the theme for this year’s conference: Safeguarding and encouraging the future progress of women to reach for higher ground.
