Whether you’re an established entrepreneur, a corporate leader, or a small business owner, this event is designed to help you expand your knowledge, build your network, and take your business to new heights. If you’re ready to step into your power, make bold moves, and learn from women who have walked the path before you, this is the space to do it.

If you’re just starting out or running a side hustle with big ambitions, you’ll gain practical strategies and expert insights to grow with confidence. Our lineup of inspiring speakers will equip you with the mindset, skills, and connections to turn your dreams into reality.

The Tasmanian Women in Business Conference isn’t your typical business event, and that’s entirely intentional.

This is a conference created by Tasmanian women, for Tasmanian women, with an emphasis on authenticity, community, and shared experience. Every speaker is proudly from Tasmania, from first-time speakers with powerful stories to seasoned professionals with practical insights. We believe every woman has something of value to share, and this event is designed to give a platform to a diverse range of voices and experiences.

We call it un-conferency because it breaks away from the traditional format. Instead of long, intense days packed with back-to-back talks, we’ve designed a gentler, more meaningful experience. Sessions run from around 9:30am to 2:00pm, recognising that energy, focus, and connection matter more than squeezing everything into a rigid schedule. We make space to connect, breathe, reflect, and really take in what’s being shared, without the overwhelm.

Social Media Expert

Kirsty is the founder of Social Bothy, where she helps tourism business owners get seen and booked on social media—without relying on third-party platforms or paid ads. She shows them how to turn Instagram into a sales tool, not just a space for pretty pictures.

Raised in the remote Scottish village of Plockton, Kirsty grew up in her family’s hotel and restaurant, giving her firsthand experience of the realities of seasonal tourism. From flipping rooms to managing guest check-ins, she knows the challenges small tourism businesses face.

After working in award-winning wineries, restaurants, and the corporate world, Kirsty created Social Bothy to offer practical, no-fluff support to small business owners. The name “Bothy” comes from Scottish shelters for hikers—a symbol of the safe, supportive space she provides her clients.

Since launching, Kirsty has helped over 500 small business owners grow with confidence, organically boosting bookings and building stronger online presences. While tourism is her niche, she also supports service-based businesses through coaching, VIP days, and social media management.
