Inspiring presentations by Engineers Australia CEO Romilly Madew AO FTSE HonFIEAust EngExec and Chief Engineer Katherine Richards were followed by vanessa ratard and Skye Haigh of Ekistica on the Community Keeping Places of Cultural Artefacts design project and finished with reflections of Grace Woodgate, a biomedical engineer working for Purple House, with some great networking afterwards.
