When you are looking for something deeper.
Not Just Another Women’s Event. What happens when a catalyst occurs?
Reactions accelerate. Energy amplifies. What once felt stuck begins to move. Change that seemed impossible suddenly feels inevitable.
Why Catalyst is Different
Forget stiff conference rooms, endless PowerPoints and networking that goes nowhere. Catalyst is where professional women step out of the grind and into a space for courageous growth and connections that linger long after the last glass is poured.
The Experience. Over three unforgettable days:
-
A warm beginning with signature cocktails, canapés and a premium gift bag to set the tone for something extraordinary.
-
Immersive learning, keynotes and sessions that spark ideas, paired with quiet time for reflection and integration.
-
Cultural depth and a private tour of the Cascade Female Factory, honouring resilience and history.
-
Exclusive dining at a private dinner at Hobart’s historic Athenaeum Club, where ideas and debate have thrived for more than 150 years.
-
Lasting impact and dynamic debrief sessions that transform inspiration into action.
Tasmania: More Than a Backdrop
Wild. Resilient. Beautiful. This island mirrors the spirit of the women who came before us, the women who live here and the women who visit us.
Honouring the past. Designing the future. This is Catalyst.

Three women. One vision.
Every woman deserves a space where she can drop the mask, quiet the noise and step out of the endless hustle. A space where high-calibre women gather, not to perform, but to connect and recharge.
That’s why Rachael Downie, Eve Nelson and AJ created Catalyst. An experience where every seat matters, every voice is heard and every moment is designed with purpose.
When it’s done, you won’t just return refreshed, you’ll return changed.
Don’t be the one who hears about it after.
Why you need to attend:
Deep Roots
Catalyst honours the women who came before us, their resilience and sacrifices that carved the paths we now walk. We know there’s still much to fix but we move forward with respect and gratitude, standing on their shoulders.
In Tasmania’s wild beauty, you’ll reconnect with your own roots, drawing strength from what has been while preparing for what’s next.
Bold Minds
This is not about doing more, it’s about becoming more. At Catalyst, you’ll find women who crave deeper connection, who are ready to set fear aside and who want to live with more 'I am' and less 'I do'.
It’s a space for raw conversations and for stripping back the noise and stepping into authenticity and integrity with conviction.
New Vision
The future needs more than clichés and tired playbooks. Catalyst is where we throw away “how it’s always been done” and shape our lives, like they matter.
It’s about legacy over hustle, impact over ego and creating new models of success that ripple through businesses, families and communities. Here, you’ll begin crafting the vision that will define your next chapter and legacy.
We will gather on the lands of the palawa people, the traditional custodians of lutruwita/Tasmania.
We pay our respects to Elders past and present. We will honour the women who came before us. Women who carried stories, wisdom, laughter and resilience. Their strength lives on in the way we share knowledge, hold space for one another and dream of what’s possible together. We recognise that this land was never ceded. It always was and always will be, Aboriginal land. May we walk gently and courageously in their footsteps when we gather.
