Become a Sponsor
In 2026, WIMARQ will deliver five major events across Queensland that celebrate, elevate, and empower women working in the resources sector. Held in Brisbane, Mount Isa, and Moranbah, these Signature Events provide powerful platforms for connection, recognition, and change.
We invite your organisation to become a sponsor of one or more of these milestone events. By partnering with WIMARQ, you are not just supporting a calendar of high-impact gatherings—you are actively investing in the advancement of women and the future of our industry.
Sponsorship of WIMARQ events is more than a branding opportunity. It is a public demonstration of your organisation’s commitment to:
- Championing diversity and inclusion in the resources sector
- Engaging meaningfully with communities across regional and metropolitan Queensland
- Recognising and celebrating the achievements of women across operational and leadership roles
- Creating safe, visible, and supportive spaces for women to be seen, heard, and inspired
