Julie Hirsch is an award-winning social entrepreneur and innovator, recognised as Telstra’s Victorian Business Woman of the Year and named on the Forbes 30 under 30 list.

A dynamic and uplifting speaker, Julie is passionate about sharing her experience-led knowledge of how innovation, social impact, and entrepreneurial excellence can be embedded into commercial, educational and government institutions.

Julie's thought leadership and inspiring entrepreneurial journey have been featured in publications such as The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age and The Herald Sun.

We'll also hear from successful local business women Jules Brooke (She's The Boss) and Melanie Grant (Snugglebum).
