About this Event

In celebration of International Women’s Day, UNSW Founders, City of Canterbury Bankstown and Wedded Wonderland invite you to a practical and inspiring morning with Wendy El-Khoury, Founder and CEO of Wedded Wonderland and Wonder Group.

Designed for new business owners, aspiring founders and growth-stage entrepreneurs, this session brings the 2026 International Women’s Day theme - Give to Gain - to life through real-world business experience.

Wendy will share how she built a global brand from the ground up, the lessons she learned at each stage of growth, and why giving - whether through community, collaboration, or knowledge - can become a competitive advantage rather than a distraction - inspired by her Western Sydney roots.

This is not a motivational talk. It’s a grounded conversation about what actually works when you’re starting out, trying to grow, or navigating the messy middle of business. The session will conclude with a live Q&A and networking with like-minded professionals.


WHO SHOULD ATTEND

  • Aspiring founders and early-stage business owners
  • Entrepreneurs looking to grow their brand or business
  • Creatives, side-hustlers and solo operators
  • Anyone seeking practical insight, meaningful connections and inspiration from a proven founder


WHAT YOU WILL WALK AWAY WITH

  • Practical insights on starting and growing a business
  • A clearer understanding of how community and contribution can drive growth
  • Lessons from a founder who has built and scaled a global brand
  • New connections with like-minded business professionals
