The TICT invites you to attend its 2026 Tourism Collective Luncheon in honour of International Women's Day - an important and well-established event on our industry calendar which continues to grow in relevance and impact each year.

Hosted in partnership with Hospitality Tasmania’s Women In Leadership program, the Luncheon brings together industry leaders, supporters and operators to celebrate the contribution of Tasmanian women in tourism and business, while also creating space for conversation and sharing on topics of leadership, equity and opportunity.

Our 2026 theme #GiveToGain sets the perfect stage for our keynote speaker, Leigh Sales AM - one of Australia's most recognised and respected journalists. Leigh will explore how the way we listen, lead, communicate and ask the right questions shapes stronger businesses, workplaces, communities and relationships. This insight is based on Leigh's vast experience over many years talking with some of the world's most inspiring leaders and business people.

This event also proudly supports Dress for Success Tasmania, with fundraising activities including a raffle held throughout the day.

Join us for an inspiring afternoon of conversation, connection and generosity, where giving to others helps our industry grow stronger.
