Women in Business Forum - October 2025

Whether you’re just starting out or already making moves in your career, this is your chance to connect with other women, swap stories, share hard-earned lessons, and dive into the real talk about what it’s like to be a woman in business — the good, the gritty, and everything in between.

Our guest speakers will bring their unique perspectives to a thoughtful discussion and Q&A, hosted by Business Canterbury’s Chief Executive, Leeann Watson.

We’ll cover:

- The drivers and motivators behind female leaders

- Overcoming barriers on your journey

- The trade-offs and opportunities for women in business

- The balancing act of leadership and life

Grab your ticket and join us for an afternoon that’s bold, honest, and made for women, by women.
