For AIM events, it doesn't get any bigger and better than the annual International Women's Day Debate - Brisbane's hottest and most popular International Women's Day Celebration.
Every year six accomplished business women grace the stage and take on a provocative debate topic over lunch with over 1200 guests. It's all in the name of celebrating women in management, in all its dimensions.
This year's topic: 'That you have to be an iron lady to make a mark'
The identities of the debaters are kept secret and revealed only on the day of the event. They can be media or social personalities, captains of business, entrepreneurs, or everyday heroes who make a difference in their chosen field.
