EVENT DESCRIPTION

Get ready for an unforgettable morning with The Hive Collective as we kick off International Women’s Day 2025 with a speaker breakfast at AURA Hobart on Wednesday, 5 March 2025, from 7:30–9:00 AM!

This year’s celebration is extra special—marking 30 years since the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, a game-changing moment for gender equality. It’s the perfect time to look back at how far we’ve come, while also acknowledging the work still ahead to ensure women and girls everywhere thrive.

With the theme ‘MARCH Forward: For ALL Women and Girls,’ this year’s event is all about keeping the momentum strong, turning promises into real, impactful change. It’s a reminder that everyone deserves a seat at the table as we continue to push for a more inclusive and equal world.

Join us for a morning of inspiration, a delicious breakfast, and the chance to connect with passionate women ready to make a difference. You’ll leave feeling motivated, inspired, and part of a powerful movement.

Don’t miss out—save your seat now and be part of the conversation that’s driving real change!

The Hive’s International International Women’s Day 2025 breakfast is supported by the Tasmanian Government
