Returning to my hometown Cairns is always relaxing. Returning to Cairns in winter is a luxury - because the weather is lovely, and not cold at all. Centacare have a program where they are mentoring 20 people in launching their companies. They invited me to give a public lecture to share my experiences and advice in starting a company. To promote the lecture, the Cairns Post featured me on the cover of their Weekend newspaper magazine.

I attended the Global Summit of Women in Tokyo, Japan 11-13 May and gave a presentation about aubot, then spoke on a panel. It was live-translated into Japanese, French and Vietnamese. It was so awesome to share my experiences. After the 1.25 hour-long panel, I hung around and answered questions for another 1.25 hours.
It was so cool to meet so many women from around the world. I love Japan - the food, the people, the culture! Can’t wait until I go back there. The next Global Summit of Women is in Sydney in 2018! So get your tickets quickly!

I received an award in New York City from the American Australian Association: the Next Generation Leadership Award. As a result, they're planting a tree in my honour in New York City. As part of my acceptance speech, the aubot team programmed a robot “Shazza” to have a conversation with me, bringing a bit of Australian humour to NYC. Check it out! (The conversation with Shazza begins at 3:30).
