"Switching Gears" - an International Women's Day Celebration Lunch

Switching Gears : International Women’s Day Celebration Lunch

Presented by the Dunsborough Yallingup Chamber of Commerce and Busselton Chamber of Commerce & Industry

International Women’s Day on Friday, 8th March is a vital opportunity to honour the achievements of women worldwide. Here in our beautiful corner of the world, we are privileged to work alongside inspiring women who lead with resilience and innovation.

The South West holds special significance for women of all backgrounds. In Quedjinup, meaning "place of women," the Wadandi people—custodians of the oldest living culture—would gather for ceremonial and familial duties, celebrating strength and community.

This year, we invite you to gather with us for a special celebration lunch focusing on the theme ‘Switching Gears.’ Together, we’ll explore what it means to be a woman in today’s dynamic world, where adapting, reassessing, and reinventing ourselves has become second nature. Let’s celebrate the adaptability, resilience, and leadership of women shaping our future.

EVENT OVERVIEW

Join us at the stunning and iconic Palmer’s Restaurant, a proud DYCCI member, for an unforgettable afternoon. Indulge in a specially curated three-course lunch crafted by the Chef and their talented team. Begin with a glass of sparkling on arrival and be inspired by our incredible guest speakers. Experience the empowering energy of a gathering that celebrates the strength and spirit of women.
