South East Melbourne Networking Evening for Women in Business (Pakenham)
About this Event
This isn’t traditional networking.
Connect & Thrive South East is a curated, facilitated evening event for women in business (or starting a business) who know that real growth comes from being in the right rooms.
This is a space designed for meaningful conversation, aligned collaboration, and relationships that naturally lead to referrals, opportunities, and friendships.
This experience is for you if you:
• value depth over surface-level networking
• prefer real conversation over performance
• believe trust-based relationships drive long-term success
• want to connect with women who lead with heart and intention
What Makes This Different 👇🏼
⭐ Curated & Facilitated
You’re not left to “figure it out.” The room is intentionally curated, and conversations are gently guided so connection flows naturally.
⭐ Relationship-Led Growth
This isn’t about pitching or collecting contacts. It’s about building genuine relationships that lead to aligned referrals, collaborations, and opportunities.
⭐ Confidence Without Performance
You don’t need to sell, impress, or perform. You simply show up as yourself in a room designed for ease and authenticity.
What's Included 👇🏼
✔ Guided connection rounds (no awkward mingling)
✔ Mindset & grounding session with Kathryn Askew
✔ Canapes & drinks included
✔ A warm, authentic room of women in business
