Catalyst

PLEASE SAVE THE DATES 27, 28, 29 NOVEMBER 2025 | HOBART TASMANIA

Catalyst is a spark for change. Someone or something that initiates significant transformation without needing to take the spotlight.  It’s about being the reason something shifts, strategically and emotionally.

Hosted on the wild and resilient island of Tasmania, Catalyst is an intimate gathering for senior leaders, executives and sponsors who are not only making moves but making meaningful change. 

With limited seats, Catalyst is as much a conversation as it is an event.  Designed for professional women who want to lead with purpose, create impact and connect with others doing the same. Catalyst is open to all women, inclusive of those who identify as women.

At Catalyst, you’ll find the spark to:

  • Break through limiting patterns with Rachael Downie on how to shift your thinking to spark success.

  • Lead people with more clarity and courage with Eve Nelson.

  • Position yourself with impact marketing with  Amanda Jones 

Includes:

 

• Arrival canapés and cocktail welcome on Thursday evening so you can ease into the experience with local flavours, new faces and relaxed conversation as we set the tone for a powerful weekend ahead.


• Luxury a la carte dinner on Friday night  a curated dining experience celebrating Tasmanian produce and great company.


• One-and-a-half days of immersive sessions, designed for deep thinking, real talk and practical transformation with industry-leading facilitators.


• Premium Catalyst Gift Pack  carefully selected with local products, tools for reflection and a few surprises.

For Delegates

Are you ready to spark the next step in your leadership experience - your approach to mindset, people and marketing?​​

For Sponsors

​​As a Catalyst sponsor, you’re not just supporting an event. You’re aligning with a highly targeted audience and a curated event.

“You don’t have to have it all figured out to make a difference. You just have to choose to become the catalyst. That spark that shifts the way you think and feel, how you lead with a vision and when you create a ripple of transformation around you.”

AI can generate content in seconds. It’s brilliant at patterns, speed and scale. I love the tech, but I know its limits.

Generative AI can replicate a writing style. It cannot replicate a life. It can’t synthesise the gut-check moment that saved your business. It doesn’t know what it takes.  It can't feel the room - AJ, Founder, Jones & Sons.
