This year’s event continues the theme of creating businesses that do more – businesses that not only achieve, but inspire, empower and drive lasting impact.
Set against one of Sydney’s most breathtaking backdrops, this special afternoon brings together an extraordinary community of women (and champions of women) in finance to share ideas, build meaningful connections and celebrate each other’s success stories.
At its heart, this lunch is about connection with purpose – a chance to engage with the brightest minds in the industry, strengthen your network and reignite your sense of possibility.
And to take that inspiration even further, we’re thrilled to be joined by Lucy Bloom – trailblazer, rule breaker and philanthropy powerhouse – as the keynote speaker for the Women in Finance Network Lunch 2026.
Lucy’s career is nothing short of extraordinary. After founding and running a boutique advertising agency for two decades, she swapped the corporate world for causes close to the heart, leading a women’s health charity to raise over $7 million for hospitals and midwifery schools in Ethiopia. Later, she transformed a Cambodian children’s charity into a thriving, community-first organisation, redefining what modern philanthropy can achieve.
Today, Lucy continues to inspire change as a creative strategist for start-ups, not-for-profits and big business, always with her trademark boldness, humour and humanity.
This is more than just a lunch – it’s a celebration of leadership, resilience and vision.
This event will sell out fast, so don’t miss your chance to join this movement of dedicated professionals aspiring to lead and champion transformative change in finance.
Join us on Friday, 1 May in Sydney for an afternoon that will leave you energised, uplifted and ready to make your mark.
