As the battery and energy sectors continue to scale, attracting, retaining, and advancing talent is becoming a critical priority. This luncheon brings together senior women from across the value chain for a more focused and candid discussion on leadership, progression and the realities of building a career in a rapidly evolving industry.

The luncheon will feature a fireside chat with Lauren Allanson, offering a personal perspective on navigating the industry, followed by an open discussion with attendees.

Designed as an interactive and informal session, it provides a space to share perspectives, exchange experiences and explore how both individuals and organisations can drive meaningful, long-term change.

• Navigating leadership and career progression within the battery and energy sectors
• How the industry is evolving — and where opportunities and challenges are emerging
• Building influence and visibility in a traditionally male-dominated environment
• The role of organisations in supporting inclusive and sustainable talent pipelines
• What the next generation of talent needs — and how to attract, retain and develop it
