IWD 2026 at The GrandWay Events Centre - MAR 6
In the thick of it: The messy middle, the milestones & lessons learned along the way panel discussion
Presented by GRAS and hosted at The GrandWay Events Centre
Careers don’t move in straight lines — and neither does life. This International Women’s Day, join us for an inspiring (and refreshingly honest) lunch-time panel that dives into the messy middle: the space between big milestones where growth, doubt, pivots, and perspective really happen.
Featuring four incredible women from different industries and stages of life, this conversation will explore what it looks like to navigate change, build resilience, and keep moving forward — even when the path isn’t clear. From wellness and entrepreneurship to agriculture, consulting, and horseracing, our panellists bring real stories, real lessons, and a few laughs along the way.
A portion of ticket sales will be donated to the Centre Wellington Food Bank, and guests are welcome to bring physical or monetary donations if they wish to contribute further.
