Friday 17 October from 8am to 4pm
The FemPowered Conference & Connection is a half-day business experience designed for women who want real conversations, practical strategies, and authentic community.
We are kicking off the day with coffee, pastries, and intentional conversations before diving into a Supercharged Power Panel. Split into two parts, this panel gives you the best of both worlds:
Part One: Optimise Your Business
Learn how to spark growth and safeguard your future with insights on performance marketing, the power of AI, and tackling tricky but essential money conversations. Hear from Jessica Gutierrez (Marketing Performance Specialist), Wendy Zveglic (AI-Driven Global Growth Strategist), and Christina Cavallaro (Litigation & Disputes Lawyer, President of the Ladies Insolvency Professionals).
Part Two: Fuel Yourself
Because a thriving business starts with a thriving you. Get grounded strategies to prevent burnout, fuel your body for high performance, and lead with resilience. Featuring Sally McGrath (Burnout & Workplace Wellbeing Specialist) and Karen Aroney (Nutritionist & Women’s Health Advocate). All guided by host Laura Holderness, co-founder of FemPowered Women.
Next up is a Deep Dive Session with Mia Madafferi, Australia’s first Master High Conflict Negotiation Coach. Drawing on her legal expertise, she’ll show you how to spot, navigate, and protect yourself from high-conflict personalities and narcissistic dynamics in business, with practical tools to reclaim your confidence and boundaries.
The morning wraps with a Curated Connection Exercise – a facilitated networking session designed to match you with the right people and spark powerful collaborations.
And if you’re ready for the full experience, upgrade to the Inner Circle: an exclusive afternoon intensive featuring a relaxed expert lunch, closed-door masterminds with speakers, and a boozy late lunch. It’s an intimate, premium space to go deeper, get bespoke advice, and walk away with clarity, inspiration, and connections that last.
More than a conference, this is a space where women show up with honesty, share wisdom generously, and leave ego at the door.
Real talk. Real women. Real growth.
