​​Join us for a discussion on redefining female leadership with heart and integrity.

​​We are Inspiring Girls Australia, part of a global charity in 44 countries, working to break down gender and cultural stereotypes. Our mission is to connect young girls with role models across industries, empowering them to believe that no career or ambition is beyond their reach.

​Here in Australia, we are proud to champion this cause through impactful programs and collaborations, including our global partnership with Barbie’s Dream Gap initiative, nurturing leadership skills and inspiring the next generation of female leaders.

​In 2026, as Inspiring Girls International celebrates its 10th anniversary, we are marking International Women’s Day by bringing together women who are already reshaping what leadership looks like today, so we can widen the path for the girls who will follow tomorrow.

​There is no better way to honor this day than by sharing the lessons we’ve learned, the challenges we’ve overcome, and the possibilities we now see, so that together we can create a better future for the next generation of girls.

​This event gathers trailblazing leaders from the boardroom to the community to explore how influence, values, and service are reshaping the future of leadership. The discussion moves beyond titles to examine how leading authentically drives impact in our teams and organizations. Join us for an evening of candid conversation and networking as we redefine what it means to lead with heart and integrity.
