Attendees dined against the backdrop of one of Sydney’s most striking locations and felt empowered by the company they kept and the people they met.
This event came to life when attendees of the Women in Finance Summit asked us for more opportunities to network with like-minded individuals. We listened and created an environment for forging partnerships and strengthening existing bonds with the brightest minds in finance.
At this unique event, camaraderie and connectivity took centre stage. But it wasn’t just about networking—it became a growing movement of dedicated professionals who aspired to lead and champion transformative change in finance. Each year, we invited a keynote speaker whose lived experiences were chosen to fuel this movement.
In 2025, that speaker was none other than two-time world champion and four-time Commonwealth champion Jana Pittman.
Jana’s achievements as an athlete were widely known. When continual injuries led to retirement, she boldly transitioned from the track to the ice, becoming the first Australian female to compete in both the Summer and Winter Olympic Games. At the time, Jana was an obstetrics and gynaecology registrar, an ambassador for the Australian Cervical Cancer Foundation, and a mother of six. Her exclusive keynote address resonated deeply and inspired all in attendance.
We were proud to host this premium event on Friday, 2 May in Sydney.
The Women in Finance Lunch will return in 2026. Register your interest today to be the first to know when tickets go on sale.
