Join us for an intimate and inspiring morning to celebrate International Women’s Day, as three of Australia’s most influential female voices—Kate Ceberano AM, Ella Hooper, and Tania Doko—come together for a thought-provoking conversation about equality, empowerment, and action.

Presented in partnership with City of Port Phillip, this exclusive panel features the three official ROAR FEST Ambassadors and embraces the United Nations 2025 IWD theme, “March Forward – It’s time to turn promises into progress.” In a world still grappling with systemic inequalities, this event highlights the importance of bold, decisive steps to achieve gender equality.

Start your morning with networking over tea, coffee and pastries and a performance by ‘Live & Local” performer Kaiyah Mercedes along with a Welcome to Country and opening remarks by City of Port Phillip Councillor Beti Jay.

From there, Kate, Ella and Tania will take to the stage for a lively and engaging conversation, moderated by Chelsea Wilson, sharing their personal journeys as trailblazers in their fields, insights into the global challenges women face, and their vision for a more equitable future.

Whether you’re a music lover, community advocate, or simply inspired by stories of resilience and leadership, this event offers a unique opportunity to connect with and learn from these extraordinary role models.

Let’s March Forward together to celebrate the achievements of women and inspire the next steps toward a truly equal future.
