Moreton Bay Region Industry and Tourism & Moreton Bay Food and Wine Festival present
International Women’s Day – Accelerate Action
Eatons Hill Hotel - Grand Ballroom (Eatons Hill, QLD)
Thursday, 6 March 2025 12:00 pm
Join us this International Women’s Day 2025 as we welcome Michelle Payne, the trailblazing jockey and the first woman to win the Melbourne Cup, for an inspiring keynote aligned with the UN theme "Accelerate Action."
Michelle will share her groundbreaking journey in breaking barriers within the traditionally male-dominated horse racing industry. From overcoming societal stereotypes and physical challenges to navigating systemic biases, Michelle’s story is a testament to resilience, determination, and the power to challenge the status quo.
Drawing on her experience as a champion of inclusion and diversity, Michelle will address the urgent need for actionable steps to advance gender equity across all sectors. Through compelling personal anecdotes, she will explore how embracing adversity can fuel meaningful change, inspiring individuals and organisations to dismantle barriers and foster opportunities for women and marginalised groups.
Michelle will also highlight how the lessons from her journey extend far beyond sports, encouraging attendees to mentor, champion, and amplify diverse voices within their industries. Her keynote will leave the audience inspired, energised, and ready to take bold steps toward creating a more inclusive and equitable future.
