More than 2000 industry professionals are expected to attend this year’s Steadfast Convention, which begins in Melbourne next Sunday.

A welcome function will be held at Showtime Events Centre at South Wharf, before broker-only sessions on Monday morning. That afternoon, keynote speakers include Olympic champion and world record-holding swimmer Ariarne Titmus and her coach Dean Boxall, and Lloyd’s chief commercial officer Dawn Miller.

Tuesday’s keynote speakers include Fremantle Dockers women’s coach Michelle Cowan and Luxury Escapes co-founder Adam Schwab, before the convention closes with a “night at the theatre” gala dinner.

Steadfast last week announced it has been recognised as one of Australia’s top employers for women by international network WORK180. 

“We are thrilled that Steadfast has been recognised by WORK180 on their Top 101 list,” Steadfast Group’s EGM of people Ferzana Yale said.

“This achievement underscores our unwavering commitment to diversity and our ongoing efforts to cultivate an inclusive workplace where all employees can thrive in their careers.”
