Celebrate International Women’s Day This Year At The Regatta Hotel
FEMALE FORCES
By Cali Westmoreland | 24th February 2026There is something undeniably powerful about a day devoted entirely to celebrating women; their ideas, their leadership, their friendships, and the countless ways they shape the world around us.
International Women’s Day has truly grown into a global moment of recognition. It arrives each year in a wave of breakfasts and long lunches, bouquets passed across tables, speeches, conversations, and endless amounts of gratitude. After all, if it weren’t for the women in our lives, the mothers, mentors, colleagues, sisters, friends, none of us would be here. And if that isn’t worth having a day dedicated to it, what is?
For those local and looking to mark the occasion in a way that feels both meaningful and inspiring, the Regatta Hotel is hosting an afternoon designed to do exactly that. Follow along to get the rundown, because we have a feeling you’ll be counting down the days on your calendar until this one.
Her Story – Women That Lead
Set in The Boatshed, the afternoon promises to deliver connection, conversation, and celebration, all in one of Brisbane’s most beloved riverside venues.
What to expect
A keynote speaker If you really want to be wowed, tune in, as a leading woman from the world of business, sport, or media (to be announced) will headline the event, sharing her journey, insights, and perspective on modern leadership.
A dynamic panel discussion Hear from remarkable women making a genuine impact across industries. Expect honest stories, thought-provoking insights, and the kind of conversations that will stay with you long after the event is over.
