Plus, we're proudly supporting Dress for Success, raising funds to help women re-enter the workforce.

There will be goodie bags for all guests and the opportunity to take part in a raffle with some fantastic prizes up for grabs!

Our Sydney event will be hosted by Tracy Souris, BIA Director, Women in Boating Chair and Manager of Sydney Boathouse, and Karen Baldwin, BIA Director and CEO of Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron, will lead the Gold Coast event.
