Our line-up will feature women from across a variety of different industries who are united by their strength to persist, their determination to forge on, and their ability to see opportunities for growth where others might have been discouraged.
Expect a panel discussion featuring inspiring stories, where you’ll gain practical strategies for navigating adversity and discover new ways to rebuild confidence and chart new paths.
Join us to celebrate some incredible maverick women and be inspired by their courage, determination and grit.
We’ll also introduce for the very first time our new Spence Club Board Members who will have been announced at our 2025 Annual General Meeting (AGM) and acknowledge and thank any outgoing Board Members for their dedicated service. It’ll be a fantastic celebration that you won’t want to miss!
Tickets include tasty platter food, a selection of delicious drinks from Mylk Bar and, of course, plenty of networking with like-minded, ambitious SA women.
