The program has been released for next Tuesday’s Women’s Football Writers Festival ahead of the Matildas Canberra match.
For a great afternoon listening to and engaging with some of Australia's top football writers and communicators, come to the Festival, which is open to all those who love women's football. The venue is the Canberra Rex Hotel in Northbourne Avenue.
Our program features three big themes in women’s football communications – the books, the media and the digital realm of pods, plus. Our keynote speakers – Fiona Crawford, Sam Lewis and Marissa Lordanic – will bring a wide range of perspectives and styles to their presentations. They will be joined by panellists to explore the experiences, ideas and issues relating to Australian’s women’s football writing and media.
The event is timed so that you can attend both the Festival and other pre-match events. We start just after lunch at 1:30 pm and finish at 5:30 pm to join other events – or stay with us at the Howling Moon bar upstairs at the Canberra Rex Hotel.
Official opening with Football Australia Deptuty Chair Carla Wilshire.
