Mac.Rob International Women's Day Breakfast | 2026
UN Women Australia’s International Women’s Day theme for 2026 is “Balance the Scales”, and aims to highlight the urgent need to ensure fair, inclusive, and accessible justice for every woman and girl.
Our special guest speaker for 2026 is Jenn ten Seldam, an inspirational and transformational leader who has built an executive career in both APAC and global executive roles. Mac.Rob graduates know how to work hard. But in the real world, success is not determined by output alone. Jenn will challenge the myth of meritocracy and explore how applying marketing thinking to your professional interactions can vastly enhance your influence and catapult your career. Jenn is a former Mac.Robbian (1992-1995), and a 2024 inductee to the Mac.Rob Portrait Gallery.
Our Q&A guest panellists include:
- Jenn ten Seldam | IWD Guest Speaker
- Lauren Solly | Human Resources Manager / Palladians President
- Michelle Vuong | Finance Director / Mac.Rob Foundation Treasurer
Please join us for our annual International Women’s Day Breakfast, held in the historic Mac.Rob Hall, as we bring together leaders and changemakers who are redefining innovation – creating new social, economic and cultural codes for a gender equal future, and help us raise much needed funds to accelerate gender equality.
