Reflections from the 2025 LG Professionals SA Women's Network Conference: Embrace It
By Renee Stevens, Return to Work and Work Health Safety Administration Officer, City of Marion

Earlier this month, 258 women gathered at the Morphettville Event Centre for the LG Professionals SA Annual Women’s Network Conference. More than ten inspirational speakers delivered a jam-packed program filled with real-life stories and practical insights. The theme “Embrace It” resonated throughout the day, with vulnerability and authenticity emerging as powerful drivers of connection, leadership, and even financial growth.

Attendees were encouraged to “flex our confidence muscle” and “embrace the uncomfortable” moments that often lead to magic. The atmosphere was electric, with a constant hum of conversation as LG Professional Women shared ideas and built new connections.

As Erin Phillips shared, the only words that scare her are the “what ifs” and “if onlys.” We hope everyone left feeling enriched, inspired, and ready to step into their power; remembering that “you always have permission to fail, provided that you learn from it.
