About this Event
International Women’s Day Lunch 2026
Abundance Shock: Understanding Women’s Biology in a Modern World
With Professor Steven Birrell
Join us on the 20th of March for an inspiring International Women’s Day lunch featuring Professor Steven Birrell, one of Australia’s leading surgical oncologists and a global authority on breast cancer prevention and women’s hormonal health.
In this thought-provoking session, Professor Birrell will explore how modern lifestyles, hormonal changes, and biology intersect to influence women’s health today. Drawing on decades of clinical experience, cutting-edge research, and biotech innovation, he will share insights into breast health, cancer prevention, and the future of women’s medicine.
Professor Birrell is a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons, a Chief Medical Officer at HAVAH Therapeutics, and the founder of three biotech companies—one of which is currently conducting critical early-stage breast cancer trials in the United States. His work has contributed to world-leading research published in Nature and Nature Medicine, with a lifelong focus on prevention rather than treatment.
Enjoy a curated lunch in an elegant setting, connect with like-minded professionals, and be part of an empowering conversation dedicated to advancing women’s health.
✨ An unmissable International Women’s Day event for professionals, leaders, and advocates passionate about women’s wellbeing.
Men are absolutely welcome to attend and bring a friend too!
The official United Nations-aligned theme for IWD 2026 is “Rights. Justice. Action. For ALL Women and Girls”, emphasising the urgent need not just for equal rights on paper, but for justice that is enforceable, accessible and meaningful for women and girls everywhere. This theme invites individuals, organisations and leaders to move from awareness to concrete action that dismantles systemic barriers and ensures safety, equity and opportunity for all.
International Women’s Day is more than a celebration — it’s a moment for reflection, advocacy and collective commitment to building a future where gender equality isn’t just an aspiration, but a reality.
