The first ever Ladies Who Long Lunch event to be held in Toowoomba will be held at the Burke & Wills Hotel in the Toowoomba CBD in July.

Every long lunch celebrates achievements by women in business, and the July Empowerment Panel of Guest Speakers will highlight amazing women and their stories from the Toowoomba and Darling Downs region. Our guest panelists’ careers and experiences will focus our event discussion.

Empowerment Panel:

Each Ladies Who Long Lunch event features a Q&A with the Empowerment Panel. The Empowerment Panel features real world business women and men, doing outstanding things in their field. Interviewed by our Host, our guest speakers always impart our guests with insights to their real world journeys, advice and inspiration. You'll be motivated and buoyed by their challenges and successes!

The Feast:

The feasting menu includes a number of dishes for you to help yourself to what and how much you'd like with a variety of dishes, to suit a variety of needs.

Please note that when you purchase your tickets you'll be asked to tell us if you have any dietary requirements. Remember to ask your friends what their needs are if you're booking as a group - on another's behalf or as a Group Booking of 6 - before purchasing.

It is very important to note your food allergies. If you have lifestyle dietary requirements, our feasting menu will cater to your tastes by way of variety. You choose the dishes you prefer from your table.

About Ladies Who Long Lunch:

Created by Kirsty Fields the Creative Director of Social Ocean and Jo Stevens the Founder of Quirky Habits, the Ladies Who Long Lunch concept is for you if you a woman:

who needs friendships and connections,
who needs to take time out of the business for themselves,
who is looking to make genuine connections in business.

These events are not just for women still active in the work force or running an empire. They’re also for woman who recognise the importance of self-care and the social impact of spending time with others who inspire, support, and fill your cup.

Your Hosts Kirsty and Jo both run business networking groups in Brisbane and Redcliffe and are passionate about helping women to take time for themselves to create connections both socially and professionally with other like-minded business women.
