Rewrite the Rules

The rules weren't written for us. So we rewrote them.

This International Women's Day, we're bringing together four remarkable women who broke into spaces not built for them — and changed the game doing it. Rewrite the Rules is a 2.5-hour panel talk that celebrates the pivots, the setbacks, and the bold decisions that redefined what's possible for women in Aotearoa.

The United Nations theme for International Women's Day 2026 is Rights. Justice. Action. For ALL Women and Girls — a global call to dismantle the laws, norms, and unspoken rules that have long held women back. Our event brings that theme to life. Because rewriting the rules isn't just personal — it's collective, it's cultural, and it's necessary.

These four women are living proof.

Hear from voices across fashion, wedding and events, retail, and the world of bespoke jewellery — each with a story that will challenge, inspire, and remind you that the rules have never been final.

What to Expect

Join us for an honest, unscripted conversation with four women who've each had their own "rewrite moment" — the turning point that changed everything. Expect real talk, shared wisdom, and the kind of energy that stays with you long after you leave the room.

The evening is for bringing together the community to celebrate these amazing women, and meet some new people.

This event is aligned with the official UN International Women's Day 2026 theme: Rights. Justice. Action. For ALL Women and Girls. — a global call to dismantle the barriers holding women back. Our panel brings that message home.

This event is for you if

You're ready to be inspired, look to carve your own path, or simply someone who believes the rules deserve a rewrite.
