Speed networking for women comes to Forbes

Regional women in business, leadership, and community roles will have the opportunity to connect, collaborate, and grow as the Central West Inspired Women (CWIW) Speed Networking events roll into Forbes, Grenfell and Parkes from July.

Thanks to generous support from Inland Rail and the collaborative backing of Weddin, Forbes and Parkes Shire councils, these events are designed to empower women across the Central West through meaningful networking and shared inspiration.

CWIW's signature speed networking format features structured, time-efficient conversations that help attendees build connections and confidence in a relaxed and inclusive environment.

Businesswomen and employees from all industries are encouraged to attend.

RDA Central West Director, Josh Gordon, said the events continue to grow in popularity across the region, fostering a strong sense of community and empowerment.

"These sessions are all about bringing women together, to connect, learn from each other, and feel supported in their personal and professional journeys," Mr Gordon said.

"We're proud to partner with Inland Rail and our local councils to expand this opportunity to these regional communities."
