9 to Thrive is touted as a two-day festival bringing together 10,000 women for talks, panels and workshops from entrepreneurs, CEOs and creatives at the top of their game.
The line-up of speakers at the Sydney event was indeed impressive.
Something for everyone? You bet – and more. They included Sweaty Betty PR founder and director Roxy Jacenko, Bumble’s Australian lead and director of marketing Michelle Battersby, Emmylou Loves founder Emmylou McCarthy, co founder of Auburn Tigers women’s AFL Amna Karra-Hassan, social justice advocate Fadzi Whande, race car driver Emily Duggan and TV presenter Rachael Finch – all to the beats of DJ F.A.D.J aka Claire O’Shea.
With such a varied and savvy schedule, it was difficult to decide which ones to see between adventuring through the myriad exhibitors. They spanned Bras and Things and Glamazon to Her Lawyer and Aussie Home Loans and everything in between – including the Symes Group team of course.
