Binance Australia Host Meetup In Brisbane For International Women’s

In celebration of International Women’s day, the team from Binance Australia hosted an evening meetup and panel discussion in Brisbane last week.

The Precinct provided a great venue for the event and the room was full. Over 60 Binance users attended, the majority being women. Free drinks were offered to welcome the participants as well as sunflowers for the ladies.

The meetup started with an introduction by Hannah Tan (Binance Australia Marketing), followed by a presentation by Imeleta Lia-Norris. She is the founder of Crypto Queens, a Facebook group dedicated to “helping and empowering women to build a digital empire using the crypto currency platform”. Sharing her personal experience, Imeleta showed that getting started with cryptos does not have to be scary or complicated.

Opportunities for Women in Bitcoin and Crypto

After a short break, Hannah Tan facilitated a discussion titled “Opportunities for Women in Bitcoin and Crypto”. Three ladies involved in the crypto industry joined her in the panel: Imeleta Lia-Norris, Danielle Marie (Creator of She’s Blockchain Savy) and Chloe Fitzgerald (Senior Communication Manager at Elevate Communication).

The panel discussed crypto and blockchain use cases, highlighting the potential for driving women’s economic empowerment worldwide – enabling women to access financial services, manage payments and keep business and personal records.

A Q&A session open to the audience wrapped up the night. It was great to see so much interest and enthusiasm for cryptocurrencies. Blockchain technologies are not meant to be a male-only field and events like this are a great reminder.
