Thriving Women 2025: Your Roadmap to Inspiration Starts Now
We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again—Thriving Women is more than a conference. It’s a celebration, a catalyst, a community. And in 2025, we’re taking it to a whole new level. With tickets officially on sale and our full program released, it’s time to meet the voices who will shape this unforgettable two-day experience in Wagga Wagga.
We’re absolutely thrilled to introduce you to an incredible cast of keynote speakers, dinner presenters, MC and toolbox talk trailblazers who are ready to spark fresh thinking, fuel courageous conversations, and champion the voices of rural women.
Day two will serve you more inspiration, as we welcome to the stage Steph Trethewey, a familiar face to many rural women. From TV reporter to rural mum, author, and founder of Motherland, Steph is on a mission to rewrite the narrative for women living on the land; and she’s bringing her fierce honesty, humour, and heart to TW2025. As Tasmania’s 2024 Australian of the Year she’s on a mission to ensure rural mums know they’re not alone, and that their stories matter. Come and hear Steph’s incredible story and leave feeling seen, supported, and recharged. Because thriving as a rural woman isn’t about having it all together, it’s about finding your people who get it.
Meet Lucy Bloom, global changemaker, business fixer and one of the most electrifying speakers on the planet – coming to you on day one of the Thriving Women Conference. A master storyteller who’s led ad agencies, run international charities, conquered the boardroom and the stage, Lucy continues to break rules (and glass ceilings), making ideas fly, and creating unstoppable momentum. Expect bold truths, belly laughs, controversial takes and a serious shot of inspiration. She’s the magic mix of stand-up comedian + motivational speaker that’ll leave you fired up to do business differently and lead with kindness.
Speaking of people who get it – our line-up of Toolbox Talk presenters brings real-life experience, hard-won lessons, and practical insights from paddocks, boardrooms and beyond. Whether you’re looking for a spark of business brilliance, a moment of personal reflection, or that ‘me too’ story that makes you feel less alone—you’ll find it here.
Add in our incredible dinner speakers, engaging MC and moments of connection across every meal, hallway chat and car ride, and TW2025 is more than a calendar event—it’s a reset, a recharge and a reminder of just how powerful rural women can be when we come together.
