IWD 2026 Women In Sport Social
About
🌸 IWD 2026: Women in Sport Social 🌸Off the pitch. Out of the office. Into the good stuff.
The 2026 IWD theme, “Give to Gain,” is about recognising that when we contribute our time, knowledge, networks and support to one another, everyone moves forward.
Which feels wildly appropriate for sport… because if there’s one thing we do well, it’s give.
We give our time. We give our energy. We give up weeknights and weekends. We give lifts, advice, contacts, pep talks and reality checks.
So for once?
We’re giving ourselves two hours off.
Off the pitch. Out of the office. Away from the inbox.
This isn’t a sit-down panel.
It’s not a 6:30pm formal dinner.
And there are definitely no lanyards.
It’s a Friday afternoon where we are bringing together the powerhouse women of sport and the men in business who back us, for an afternoon built around connection, contribution and community.
What to expect:
✨ 2 hours of unlimited drinks
✨ Delicious food provided
✨ A room full of smart, sport-obsessed humans
✨ Genuine conversations (not awkward networking)
✨ New connections across Community, SSO and NSO sport
✨ $49 per head
Bring your colleagues. Bring your GM. Bring your director of first impressions.
Let’s connect the ecosystem, from grassroots to national stage.
Because when women in sport come together, great things happen!
