About the event:
Join us for an inspiring and thought-provoking morning at Brisbane City Hall , as we celebrate International Women’s Day 2027 with a special Leaders’ Breakfast honouring the extraordinary women shaping Queensland—and Australia.
Guided by this year’s theme, Lead the Change , this event recognises that leadership is not defined by a single path, title, or sector. It lives in boardrooms and laboratories, in public service and industry, and equally in homes, communities, and the quiet, often unrecognised work of caregiving and connection.
Too often, conversations about leadership remain siloed. This gathering brings together influential voices from across sectors—government, defence, business, STEM, law, health, and community—to share insights, challenge perspectives, and demonstrate how leadership transcends boundaries. By learning from one another, we unlock new ways to lead with purpose, empathy, and impact.
Set within one of Queensland’s most iconic civic landmarks, this event celebrates not only the trailblazers who have shaped our past, but also the leaders redefining our future. From pioneering changemakers to emerging voices, we shine a light on the diverse journeys that drive progress and inspire possibility.
Together, we will reflect on the legacy of women who have led with courage and conviction—and look ahead with intention. This is a call to action: to lead boldly, to lead inclusively, and to lead the change toward a more connected, equitable, and resilient future for all.
Please refer to the terms and conditions.
