Program

The best conferences don't end with the presentation…they spark ideas you'll take back to work.

That's why we're excited to welcome Suzanne Shipp to the EECON 2026 program.

Suzanne Shipp joined Energy Queensland’s Executive Leadership Team in September 2025 as Chief Engineer. In this role, Suzanne oversees engineering and asset management across the Ergon Energy and Energex operational streams and is responsible for ensuring the safe, reliable and efficient operation of Queensland’s electricity distribution networks.

With more than 30 years of experience, Suzanne brings a broad and diverse industry background. Her career began in the military as an apprentice and has since included senior operational and engineering roles, including the management of energy transmission systems across Australia’s critical infrastructure.

Suzanne holds a Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical and Electronics Engineering, First Class Honours) and a Master of Business Administration. She is a Chartered Professional Engineer, a Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland, an Engineering Executive, and a Graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors.

In 2025, Suzanne was recognised with the Women in Industry Excellence in Energy Award. She also serves as a Board Director of the Currumbin Palm Beach RSL Sub Branch and the Men’s Information and Support Association (MISA).

EECON brings together experts from across the electric energy sector to share real-world projects, lessons learned and practical experiences that help move our industry forward.

With many more speakers still to be announced, there's never been a better time to secure your place and be part of the conversation!
