“It was empowering to be in such a safe and inclusive space, embracing equality and celebrating it together." 2025 Attendee
Founder - Rebecca Ross
"Eight years ago, I envisioned a conference where women from all walks of life could come together, share their stories and connect with support services. Now it’s evolved in a way we never could have imagined.
This festival is about breaking barriers, celebrating diversity, showcasing women in business and offering an inclusive experience for all at an affordable price.
Let’s make this HUGE - There’s nothing you won’t have at the Festival of Women and let’s take this to all of the regional centres in the country.
