Empower Her Community and She Owns It presents

New Zealand Small Business Awards

Two of New Zealand's biggest communities for women in business have joined forces, and October 15th is going to be unforgettable.

We have spent years watching extraordinary women build extraordinary businesses, quietly, boldly, without nearly enough fanfare. New Zealand Small Business Awards is our answer to that. One night, one hundred women, and a room full of the kind of energy that reminds you exactly what you are capable of.

Arrive at one of Auckland's most stunning waterfront venues and feel the excitement in the air from the moment you walk through the door. Everything has been taken care of, the prosecco is already poured, a three-course shared grazing feast is waiting, and somewhere between the awards and the dancefloor you realise this is one of those evenings you will still be talking about years from now.

Businesses will be recognised, connections will be made over a meal worth lingering over. A keynote that will leave you thinking bigger than when you walked in. And a DJ keeping the party going long after the awards are done, because why would you want to leave?

Grab your fellow female founders and make a proper night of it. Or come completely on your own and walk into a room where you will be welcomed, celebrated and feel like you belong, because you do.

Dress code: Cocktail & Black Tie

One hundred seats - October 15th, 2026 - Fabric, Hobsonville Point, Auckland.
