The Programme

Events designed to be different.

Every event changes ~35% of its format. No two seasons feel the same — that's intentional.

Every Season
The Breakfast Table

Tables of 8, one strong speaker who rotates to each. You leave with 3 real connections and one insight you didn't have before.

Every Season
The Build Day

Full-day offsite. Practical facilitation on what you need. Small groups working on your real business. Ends with dinner.

Signature
On The Water

Half-day on Sydney Harbour. Structured conversations, rotating tables, a prompt at every stop. The backdrop does the rest.

Every Season
The Pitch Room

A hands-on workshop built around one of the most valuable skills a founder can have — telling the story of what you're building, compellingly and concisely. You'll learn what investors and partners actually look for, workshop your own pitch in a small group, and do it in a room full of women who can open doors. No stage. No competition. Just learning, refining, and connecting.

Members Only
The Founder Dinner

12 women. One guest who built something real. No panel, no moderator. Just conversation over food. The intimacy is the product.

Season Two
The Retreat

Overnight offsite. Small group, structured sessions and unstructured time. Women leave knowing each other properly.
