Women in Leadership Luncheon 2026
Women in Leadership Luncheon 2026
The Women in Leadership Luncheon 2026 is a curated afternoon designed for women who lead in business, sport, community and life.
Rather than traditional networking, this event creates meaningful connection and focused leadership insight. As a result, guests enjoy thoughtful conversation in an inspiring setting while building genuine professional relationships.
Following the success of previous keynote speakers Jelena Dokic, Michelle Payne and Tess Brouwer, Marnong Estate welcomes Olympic champion and entrepreneur Lydia Lassila.
As an Olympic gold medallist and four-time Olympian, Lydia brings first-hand insight into leadership under pressure. However, her story extends beyond elite sport. Throughout her keynote, she explores resilience, reinvention and confidence through change. Importantly, she also shares her experience across entrepreneurship, identity and motherhood.
What to Expect
Your experience begins in the breathtaking Green Grove at Marnong Estate with premium estate wines, curated canapés and meaningful networking with fellow professionals, founders and emerging leaders.
Guests will then move into the elegant Angliss Room for a beautifully curated two-course seated luncheon, complete with:
• Premium Marnong Estate wines
• Exclusive door prizes
• A curated gift bag for every attendee
Lydia will then take the stage for a powerful and deeply personal keynote exploring:
• High performance and mental resilience
• Courage and calculated risk
• Redefining success beyond a single identity
• Balancing elite ambition with motherhood
• Building business beyond sport
The afternoon concludes with dessert, coffee and connection.
Tickets are strictly limited.
