Celebrate International Women’s Day 2026 and join Time & Leisure Media for fun and lively breakfast networking, especially for women in business.

✨ SPEAKER ANNOUNCEMENT✨

Deborah Henley is an author, leadership thinker and host of the Perfectly Flawed podcast. She will be talking about The Female Advantage in this modern, tech driven world. For years, we’ve been told a version of the same story: that women are at a disadvantage – we’re underrepresented, underestimated, required to catch up. But what if the premise itself is flawed? What if women hold a distinct and inherent advantage already in today’s fast-paced, high-performance, technology-driven world? Deborah will reveal how her REAL model shows the opportunities and how you can use this to your advantage.

Elys Personal stylist Helen Canning will share her tips on this seasons styles and how to update your wardrobe with a few key pieces.

✨ BREAKFAST NETWORKING ✨

There’s something truly magical about a room full of driven, ambitious women coming together. The energy, the conversations, and the support you’ll experience at this event will help kick-start your IWD26. Here’s what we have in store for you:
