A special keynote with Hilary Peach, author of Thick Skin, followed by a community meetup with fellow tradespeople!

The first 40 registrants will receive a complimentary copy of Hilary's book!

Join us for an inspiring evening with Hilary Peach—welder, boiler inspector, and author of Thick Skin: Field Notes from a Sister in the Brotherhood.

Enjoy refreshments while hearing from Hilary about her remarkable career, then connect with fellow tradespeople in a casual setting and get your book signed.

About Hilary's Story

With over 20 years as a pressure welder for the Boilermakers Union, Hilary shares a relatable, first-hand account of her travels and experiences working across the continent. Her book has resonated deeply with trades communities and garnered both regional and national acclaim.

What to Expect

Hilary will discuss the power of storytelling and how sharing our experiences- with each other, our allies, and ourselves- keeps women and gender-diverse tradespeople from becoming invisible in their workplaces. She'll offer practical survival tips, explore the vital role of allyship, and show how finding connections and common ground leads to lasting success in the trades.

Feel free to drop in after the talk for a community meetup.

We look forward to seeing you there!
