You can find Sen Coonan's speech here.

I hosted a Microsoft corporate table, and it was a rare opportunity to gather 10 of my very favourite female architects that I work with in the one place, in addition to those ladies from Sydney, Lois and Susan even came up from NZ and Melbourne respectively! We had a great time chatting about careers/babies/life in general! I'm definitely going to host another table at the next FITT event!
