AXG Presents The Expat Girlies Diaries
About this Event
Join Auckland Expat Girlies for an in-person panel and community gathering. It's for expat and immigrant women in Auckland who are building their careers, their confidence, and their community, basically, building a whole new life from scratch.
What to expect:
An evening that moves from real stories to real conversation. Our speakers open up about their own journeys, our MC guides an honest panel chat, and then it's your turn, there's space for your questions too.
Expect practical advice. A few laughs. A lot of "wait, same" moments. And a room full of women who genuinely get it.
This is not a stiff corporate panel with a mic and awkward silences. It's a room of women who've been exactly where you are, talking honestly about what it actually takes to start over. The wins. The messy bits. The stuff nobody warns you about.
Because building a life abroad takes more than courage. It takes community, confidence, and support.
Who this is for:
- Growing (or rebuilding) your career in Auckland
- Working on your confidence in a new environment
- Craving real community and genuine friendships
- Still figuring out how to feel settled here
- Navigating money, stability, or just... who you are now
- Keen to hear from women who actually get the abroad journey
Come for the panel, stay for the connection.
Meet the speakers:
Andrea — Career, Visibility and Confidence Andrea's all about career momentum in a new country. Personal branding, networking that doesn't feel gross, showing up (online and off), and going from "who's that" to known in your space.
Crystal — Career Pivoting, Adaptability and Technology Crystal went from finance and accounting into marketing and technology. Not part of the plan, best decision she made. She talks rebuilding your professional identity and turning change into your advantage.
Dani — Career Growth, Money and Stability Dani gets practical. Growing your career while actually getting your money sorted in a new country. Smart decisions, planning ahead, still enjoying your life.
Danice — MC and Conversation Guide Danice holds the space for the evening. She opens things up, guides the panel, and makes sure you get your turn to ask questions too. Warm room, promise.
